Evangelista and Pangelinan were apprehended on charges of conspiracy to commit theft and conspiracy to commit burglary.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not clear yet whether a third co-defendant who was charged with burglary and theft has already been arrested.<\/p>\n
Manglona was arrested for burglary, theft, and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n
King was arrested for child abuse.<\/p>\n
Evangelista and Pangelinan were taken to Superior Court on Monday, while Manglona and King were brought to court yesterday.<\/p>\n

Manglona\u2019s bail was set at $25,000 cash, while King\u2019s was set at $5,000 cash.<\/p>\n
Police detective Shawn Lee SN. Borja stated in his report that police received a call on March 28, 2015, about a burglary case at Island Store. Police learned that 125 cartons of cigarettes worth about $4,000 were stolen.<\/p>\n
Borja said their investigation led to the identification of Evangelista and Pangelinan, who along with a third co-defendant, allegedly conspired to sell cartons of stolen cigarettes at various stores on the island.<\/p>\n
The third person was charged with burglary and theft, but Saipan Tribune opted to withhold the defendant\u2019s name because it\u2019s not clear yet whether the person has already been arrested.<\/p>\n
In Manglona\u2019s case, police said the suspect stole several items that were on a boat at a house in Marpo Valley last Jan. 27. The items stolen were a fire extinguisher, tools, socket, socket wrench, four life jackets, flair gun kit, slipper, rod and reel, scuba mask, and a snorkel.<\/p>\n
Manglona was also allegedly behind the burglary at Fleming Hotel last Dec. 26, where five flat screen TVs were stolen from four rooms.<\/p>\n
Borja said Manglona confessed to the Fleming Hotel burglary in an interview last week.<\/p>\n
In King\u2019s case, police detective Barbara K. Arend stated in her report that King allegedly threw her minor child to the floor on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Medics transported the child to Tinian Health Center for check up and observation. The child was later discharged. The report did say how old the baby is.<\/p>\n
King\u2019s husband told police that when he came home with his cousin on Sunday at 11:20pm, his baby was crying and his wife was not there.<\/p>\n
The husband picked up the baby for her to stop crying. When she stopped crying, his cousin carried the baby.<\/p>\n
King arrived and took the baby. She, however, allegedly dropped the baby on the floor, causing the child to cry.<\/p>\n
The husband asked King why she dropped the baby, but she did not answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
