A teenager and three juveniles reportedly damaged a Tinian Dynasty Hotel & Casino limousine by throwing rocks at the vehicle.
Catalino V. Cangco, 18, was taken to the Saipan Superior Court Monday afternoon for a bail hearing on charges of criminal mischief, conspiracy to commit criminal mischief and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth Govendo imposed a $10,000 cash bail for Cangco’s temporary liberty.
A preliminary hearing was set for August 4, 2008, at 9am.
The case against the juveniles was sealed.
Investigation showed that around midnight of July 15, an employee of the Tinian Dynasty was returning the hotel’s limousine after delivering customers to the Tinian West Airport.
The employee stated that as he passed the jungle near Star Plaza, he heard a loud thump on the vehicle’s passenger side.
As the employee slowed down to investigate, he noticed a large rock flying toward the limousine’s windshield.
The rock shattered the windshield, sending pieces of glass into the driver’s face. When the employee got out of the car, he saw three persons running across the road.
The employee proceeded to the nearby JJDM Mini Mart where he called police.
Detective Chad Palacios said he interviewed the three juveniles after a few days, and they all confessed to being involved in the rock throwing.
The detective said the juveniles admitted to fleeing the scene after they heard the windshield break.
