VICKILYN Ramonica Manglona Teregeyo has admitted using methamphetamine while on probation, according to U.S. Probation officer Gregory Arriola.
In his second supplemental declaration to support a petition to revoke Teregeyo’s probation on Tuesday, Arriola told the federal court that the defendant tested positive for the use of methamphetamine on March 10, 2023, and submitted “dilute urine specimens” on March 10 and 17, 2023.
Teregeyo also submitted dilute urine specimens on April 3 and 7, 2023, Arriola added.
On April 20, appearing before Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona of the District Court for the NMI, Teregeyo, represented by attorney Richard Miller, admitted to the March 10 positive drug test and the dilute urine specimens submitted on March 10 and 17, 2023.
But Teregeyo denied that she diluted her urine on April 3 and 7, 2023.
The hearing will be continued on May 19.
In his latest declaration, Arriola stated that Teregeyo committed additional violations.
He said, on April 24, U.S. Probation Officer Juanette David-Atalig applied a drug test sweat patch on Teregeyo.
“On April 26, Teregeyo reported to the U.S. Probation Office to have the device removed from her person. Upon inspecting the device Officer David-Atalig observed that the top left corner of the patch was partially peeled off. When asked what happened, Ms. Teregeyo explained that she must have scratched it because she was experiencing hives on her body. The device was sent to Pharmchem Inc. for confirmatory testing,” Arriola said.
On May 11, Arriola said a report was received from the laboratory that revealed positive results for the use of methamphetamine and THC (marijuana).
Additionally, on May 8 and May 11, 2023, Teregeyo submitted dilute urine specimens while being subjected to random drug testing, Arriola said.
“Both urine specimens were sent to the national drug testing laboratory for confirmatory testing. As of this report, the results are pending,” he added.
Teregeyo was convicted on Guam for 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.
Teregeyo 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 District Court for the NMI.
In March 2022, Judge Manglona revoked the supervised release of Teregeyo who admitted that she used methamphetamine.
Judge Manglona sentenced Teregeyo 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, followed by 27 months of supervised release.
