A woman arrested by U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents for allegedly selling methamphetamine or \u201cice\u201d near a school on Saipan pleaded guilty in federal court yesterday.<\/p>\n
Yue Xin Tang pleaded guilty to count 2 of the indictment charging her with distribution of \u201cice\u201d within 1,000 feet near a public school.<\/p>\n
She will be sentenced on July 6, 2012.<\/p>\n
Tang, who appeared with court-appointed counsel Loren Sutton, was later remanded into the custody of the U.S. Marshal.<\/p>\n
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona is presiding over the case.<\/p>\n
According to DEA special agent Jacqueline R. Gordon, they were able to buy $150 and $700 worth of \u201cice\u201d from Tang using a confidential source on Oct. 27, 2011, and Nov. 9, 2011.<\/p>\n
Gordon stated in her affidavit that, on Oct. 26, 2011, she and another DEA special agent, along with a Department of Public Safety Task Force officer, interviewed a DPS confidential source about Tang\u2019s \u201cice\u201d distribution activities in Garapan.<\/p>\n
The following day, using the confidential source, Gordon said they were able to buy $150 worth of \u201cice\u201d from Tang at a parking lot behind Bank of Guam.<\/p>\n
Gordon said that, on Nov. 9, 2011, they managed to buy $700 worth of \u201cice\u201d from her using the same confidential source at the parking lot of 99 Cents Store. <\/p>\n
Tang was arrested last month after the U.S. government filed a complaint charging Tang with two counts of distribution of a controlled substance. An indictment was subsequently filed against the defendant over the same allegations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
