U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona has set the sentencing and revocation hearings for a man convicted of immigration fraud who admitted to smoking marijuana while on bail.
Manglona on Friday ordered Steven Romie Aguon to appear at his sentencing and revocation hearings on Oct. 15, 2012 at 1:30pm.
The court first set the hearings for Aug. 1, 2012, but vacated the proceedings to allow Aguon to travel off-island for medical treatment.
On Sept. 14, 2012, the court again allowed the defendant to travel off-island for medical treatment.
On Friday Manglona said she has been told that Aguon is now back on island.
Aguon pleaded guilty in February to immigration document fraud. He is awaiting sentencing.
In July, the U.S. Probation Office asked the court to revoke or modify Aguon's bail conditions after he tested positive for chemicals found in marijuana.
Aguon allegedly admitted smoking marijuana after a family member offered him a joint.
Aguon also allegedly disclosed that he saw his girlfriend, one of his third party custodians, smoking marijuana with friends in front of his residence.
U.S. Probation Officer Gregory F. Arriola said Aguon stated that he confronted and slapped his girlfriend for using the drug.
The probation officer said that, on May 25, 2012 the girlfriend admitted to smoking marijuana and that Aguon slapped her for that.
