Ex-OPA chief wants criminal record cleared

Former Public Auditor Scott Tan, who had served a two-year sentence for misusing public properties during his term in the government, has asked the Superior Court to clear his record by removing his criminal conviction file.
Through lawyer Perry B. Inos, Tan filed with the court on Thursday a motion seeking an “order vacating his conviction.”
In filing the motion, Inos invoked the Office of the Probation’s March 29 report that Tan “has fully complied with all the conditions of his probation/suspended sentence.”
Tan was sentenced on Dec. 14, 1994 after being found guilty of misusing government equipment and vehicle that belonged to the Office of the Public Auditor.
He was placed on probation for a period of two years under supervision of the Office of Probation.
“The term of his deferred sentenced has expired on Dec. 14, 1996,” Inos said.
“Upon discharge of Tan without imposition of sentence, the court should vacate the judgment of conviction [so that Tan] may not be deemed to have been convicted,” Inos added.
Tan was also charged recently by the Attorney General’s Office for allegedly beating his wife Cecilia.(MCM)
