Man gets 240-day jail term for assault and battery

The defendant, who was sentenced for two separate cases, was represented by Assistant Public Defender Matthew Holley and attorney Deborah E. Fisher.

Assistant Attorney General Matthew Meyer was the prosecutor.

After Ngiturol pleaded guilty to the assault and battery charges filed on July 8, 2009 and Feb. 3, 2005, the remaining two charges were dismissed with prejudice.

For the 2009 case, Ngiturol was sentenced to a one-year jail term, all suspended, except 240 days with credit for the time served from June 29 to Sept. 23, 2009.

For the 2005 case, Ngiturol was sentenced to one year in prison, but all suspended.

The two sentences will run consecutively, Manglona said.

Ngiturol was also placed on 16-month probation and was ordered to keep all appointments with his probation officer.

He will pay a $50 assessment fee within 30 days, and an annual probation fee to be assessed by the Office of Adult Probation.

Moreover, he will perform 100 hours of community service and write a letter of apology to his  four victims.

Ngiturol was directed to follow all CNMI and federal laws.

He will be back in court on Nov. 18 for his restitution hearing.

The jury trial set to commence on Oct. 5 was vacated.
