Vickilyn Teregeyo
THE U.S. Probation Office on Wednesday requested the federal court to issue an arrest warrant for Vickilyn Manglona Teregeyo for violating curfew and failing to return to the HOPE Recovery Center.
U.S. Probation Officer Juanette David-Atalig, in a supplemental declaration, said as part of her supervision, Teregeyo must participate in the HOPE Recovery Center’s Substance Abuse, Addition, and Rehabilitation Program. She must also follow the probation officer’s instructions related to supervision conditions.
David-Atalig said on June 10, 2024, she granted Teregeyo’s request for a day pass from the HOPE Recovery Center to take care of personal errands.
“Her curfew was set for her to return to the center no later than 6 p.m. At 7:40 p.m., this officer received notification from the center that Teregeyo had not returned,” David-Atalig told the court.
“This officer called Ms. Teregeyo several times without success. A text message was sent to her instructing her to call this officer; however, she failed to do so,” the probation officer added.
On June 11, 2024, David-Atalig learned that Teregeyo was still absent from the center.
“Multiple attempts to contact Ms. Teregeyo throughout the day were unsuccessful, and as of the filing of this report, she has not returned to the HOPE Recovery Center nor has she contacted the U.S. Probation Office,” David-Atalig said.
The court scheduled a final disposition hearing for June 18 at 1:30 p.m.
Teregeyo was convicted on Guam of the offense of drug user in possession of a firearm and ammunition, but was allowed by the federal court system to serve her probation in the CNMI.
She was sentenced by Guam District Court Chief Judge Frances M. Tydingco-Gatewood on May 24, 2019, to time served, 12 months and 18 days, with a three-year term of supervised release.
Her supervision was then transferred to the jurisdiction of the District Court for the NMI, whose chief judge revoked Teregeyo’s supervised release in March 2022 after the defendant admitted that she used methamphetamine.
Teregeyo was sentenced to serve a three-month prison term, followed by three months of home confinement/detention with electronic location monitoring as a special condition of supervised release, and 27 months of supervised release.
Her fourth term of supervised release started on Nov. 24, 2023, and was set to expire on May 23, 2025.
After serving her six-month sentence for probation violation, Teregeyo again tested positive for the use of methamphetamine.
