HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — A suspect who allegedly wielded a machete to rob a game room in Dededo was charged Saturday in the Superior Court of Guam.
The robbery occurred around 1:40 a.m. Jan. 22 at Winster II Game Room, according to the magistrate’s complaint filed with the court.
The suspect, who was later identified as Vincent Johnny, “knocked on the front door of the game room.” He was identified in the complaint as “a regular customer.”
“After the victim opened the front door, a regular customer charged toward the victim with a machete in his right hand. The customer swung the machete toward the victim’s head,” the complaint stated.
The report stated that the victim blocked the machete with his arm, which subsequently struck his palm and head.
“The victim then fell onto the ground and stood back up, at which time the customer pointed the machete at the victim and repeatedly asked the victim for money. The victim gave the customer a cash register, which he emptied into a bag,” the complaint stated.
Officers with the Guam Police Department said that Johnny instructed the victim not to report the crime and threatened the victim with violence.
“The customer then told the victim, ‘Don’t say anything or call the police, or I will kill you,’ and fled with the bag southbound toward 7-Day Supermarket,” the complaint stated.
Police corroborated the victim’s account of events through surveillance footage.
The victim sustained a three-inch cut on the palm of his hand and an approximately two-inch cut on his head, according to GPD.
The complaint stated that Johnny had just been arrested in a different criminal matter when he allegedly robbed the game room.
Police said, Johnny “confessed to attacking the victim and robbing the game room” and that he used some of the money to buy drugs.
Johnny was charged with first-degree robbery as a first-degree felony, and second-degree robbery as a second-degree felony, both with the special allegation of use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a crime. He was also charged with second-degree robbery as a second-degree felony and terrorizing as a third-degree felony with the special allegation attached.
