Sablan will be required to prepare a six-page paper about his recovery plan, and will present it in a group counseling session, the Federal Probation Office recommended.
On April 17, 2011, Sablan tested presumptive positive for “ice” and admitted in writing that he used methamphetamine on April 15.
This month, Sablan failed to show for his scheduled drug test, citing he had a medical condition, and had transportation problems.
On Sept. 17, 2008, then-Chief Judge Alex Munson sentenced Sablan to 30 months imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release after he pleaded guilty to the charge of extortion under color of official right.
Sablan was also ordered to pay over $7,000 as restitution to various victims.
The extortion occurred between Sept. 18, 2004 and March 20, 2006, the prosecution said.
At that time, Sablan was a CNMI assistant probation officer who demanded and received money from defendants under his supervision in return for promises of favorable official action, the prosecution said.
