During his arraignment last week Mori denied charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, criminal mischief, and disturbing the peace.
He was been released to his sister Valentina Roby as third party custodian.
Judge David A. Wiseman granted the defendant’s motion for bail modification filed by the Public Defender’s Office.
On Oct. 15, 2011, Detective Patrick Sablan said police were dispatched at about 11:05 p.m. to a disturbance on Nuhut Lane in As Perdido.
Responding Officer Anthony Alepuyo was told by the victim that he was seated inside his vehicle when an individual, later identified as Mori, approached his vehicle with a machete.
Mori suddenly struck the hood of the victim’s vehicle.
Mori told the victim not to park on his land, police said.
While still inside his vehicle, the victim said Mori took a hollow block and used it to shatter the front and rear windshields as well as both passenger side window glasses.
As the victim ran away, Mori threw the machete at the victim but missed, police said.
Police said Mori lives at a residence above the only house on the left side of Nuhut Lane.
There was a party at the neighborhood at the time of the incident.
This was not Mori’s first brush with the law. In 2009, the court sentenced Mori to five years’ imprisonment, all suspended except four months, to serve without parole after he was convicted of bribery.
He reported a false electric meter reading in exchange for gas money.
Mori was placed on five years’ probation after his release from the Department of Corrections facility and was permanently barred from re-employment with the Commonwealth Utilities Corp, where he was a former meter reader.
