They must seek full-time employment and will not leave the CNMI without permission from the probation officer.

The theft incident at Nova Fun & Games in Chalan Kanoa was reported to the police at about 8:30 a.m. on March 19, 2007.
Police said surveillance footage showed the two defendants stepping out of a blue Nissan pick-up truck and heading toward the air-conditioning unit.
Ngeskebei later admitted to the police that they stole the air-conditioning unit.
He said he and Duenas drove behind the poker parlor and asked a man if the air-conditioning unit was broken.
When the man told them it was, they loaded the air-conditioning unit into their truck and sold it to Triple Star Recycling for $14.
