Judge Wiseman originally sentenced Rauepi to 20 years, all suspended, except for eight years, with credit for time served at the Department of Corrections facility.
Upon release from prison, Rauepi will be placed on 10 years probation.
Rauepi was required to pay a $2,000 fine, a $100 court assessment fee, a probation fee to be determined by the Adult Probation Office, and a restitution of over $7,000 for his three separate victims.
According to stipulated factual basis for plea, Rauepi admitted the following:
• Sept. 24, 2010, stole a bush cutter, different toolboxes, an Army duffle bag, and mini-computer speakers.
• Nov. 25, 2010, stole a white-gold ring with 2.5 karat diamond, two set of white-gold earnings, a black baseball cap.
• Dec. 8, 2010, took and damaged a pick-up truck, cellular phone and wallet .
Rauepi will also write a letter of apology and to stay away from each of his victims, their residences, and pieces of property they owned.
In consideration for the plea of guilty, the Attorney General’s Office agreed to dismiss the remaining charges with prejudice, and to withdraw the petition to revoke probation of his earlier criminal conviction in 2009.
Chief Prosecutor Michael Ernest represented the government, while Assistant Public Defender Douglas Hartig served as Rauepi’s counsel.
In June 2010, Superior Court Judge Ramona V. Manglona sentenced Rauepi for theft to five years imprisonment, but all suspended, except for four months with credit for four months he had already served.
The court dismissed with prejudice the remaining charges against the defendant.
On May 31, 2009, the prosecution said, Rauepi burglarized a house in Susupe, stealing a car, $23 cash, as well as house and car keys. He was later arrested.
Manglona also placed Rauepi on probation for five years under the direction and supervision of the Adult Probation Office.
In Dec. 2010, police arrested Rauepi for theft after his then-15-year-old girlfriend told authorities she received a mobile phone and $35 cash from the defendant on Dec. 8, 2010.
When questioned, Rauepi admitted to other burglary and theft incidents he committed, police said.
Rauepi and another individual had also been cultivating pot in the bushes beside their house in Kagman, police added.
