Superior Court Judge Kenneth L. Govendo sentenced Omengkar to 120 days imprisonment, but all suspended except 50 days with credit for time served.
Omengkar was also ordered to pay a total of $100 fine for both counts, and all applicable court costs.
The plea agreement stated that the offense of criminal contempt carries maximum penalty of six months imprisonment, and a fine not to exceed $100.
The prosecution said Omengkar violated on Feb. 17 and Feb. 22, 2011 her 24-hour house arrest imposed by the court as part of her pretrial release conditions for her pending “ice” case.
Omengkar was not in the house of her third party custodians on two occasions the police conducted random check.
Assistant Attorney General Shelli Neal prosecuted this case, while Omengkar was represented by her court-appointed defense attorney G. Anthony Long.
Omengkar has been charged with possession and trafficking of controlled substance, and conspiracy. Her jury trial starts on Nov. 7, 2011. She has denied the charges.
Omengkar and her co-defendant, former Police Officer Florencio Richards, who was off-duty at that time, were arrested in July 2010 by the CNMI Joint Drug Task Force for possession and trafficking of “ice.”
The charges against Richards have been dismissed without prejudice as moved by the Attorney General’s Office.
Richards has admitted federal charges of conspiracy to distribute 0.94 grams net weight of d-methamphetamine hydrochloride, distribution of “ice,” and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Richards is currently on pretrial release pending his sentencing.
