Visiting Judge David O. Carter also required Quichocho to pay a $100 assessment fee.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Benedetto prosecuted the case while attorney Michael W. Dotts represented Quichocho.
In an e-mail to the Variety, Dotts said, “Judge David O. Carter from Los Angeles handed down the sentence and stated that it served the ends of justice. Mr. Quichocho agrees. Illegal drugs have caused tremendous harm on Tinian and Mr. Quichocho promised the court and his family he will never get involved with drugs again.”
Last February, Quichocho pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
According to the factual basis of the plea agreement, Quichocho was in possession with intent to distribute .037 gram of “ice” on April 19, 2008.
Quichocho was arrested by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Tinian police on Nov. 10, 2009.
Prior to his sentencing, Quichocho was released to his wife Marvic as third party custodian.
