<\/a>Before the prosecutor made the revelation, Superior Court Associate Judge David A. Wiseman asked Sablan for the name of his wife.<\/p>\n
Sablan answered in a low voice, \u201cAna Limes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s the one that had just been killed, right?\u201d Wiseman asked, to which Sablan replied in a low voice, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Citing Sablan\u2019s prior criminal cases as well as the prosecution\u2019s statement that he\u2019s a person of interest in the murder of Limes, Wiseman increased the bail to $25,000 cash and set some conditions.<\/p>\n
Assistant public defender Michael Sato, who was appointed as counsel for Sablan, said the court should keep the bail at $5,500 as it is not appropriate to increase the bail amount based on a future criminal case.<\/p>\n
Wiseman said that Sato\u2019s position is well taken but the court is more concerned with Sablan\u2019s previous criminal history.<\/p>\n
Preliminary hearing will be on April 29 at 9am and arraignment will be on May 4 at 9am.<\/p>\n
Police detective Rudolfo Saures Hermosilla Jr. stated in his report that the Department of Public Safety\u2019s dispatcher received a call on Sunday at 12:36am from a female who claimed that someone was yelling and causing a disturbance outside their house in Oleai.<\/p>\n
At 12:44am, a police officer responded and arrived at the location and saw Daniel Lisua, who was holding a baseball bat.<\/p>\n
Lisua, the father of the caller, told the officer that Sablan was inside his outside kitchen located behind his house and that he believes Sablan \u201cis losing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lisua told the officer that Sablan was walking around his house and was talking loudly to himself.<\/p>\n
The officer approached Sablan, identified himself, greeted him, and asked what he was doing. The suspect raised his right hand and showed a small clear zip lock bag containing a white crystal-like substance.<\/p>\n
Sablan then threw the bag as the officer secured him in handcuffs. He told the officer that it\u2019s not \u201cice\u201d in the bag but salt.<\/p>\n
While the officer was patting him down, Sablan stated, \u201cOfficer, I am sorry but I can make you rich. I didn\u2019t sleep for three days already because I smoked Santa Lourdes rocks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sablan also allegedly asked the officer if he wanted $1 million or $2 million because he was going to make him rich.<\/p>\n
The officer noticed what appeared to be bloodstains on Sablan\u2019s pants. The officer also saw scratches on Sablan\u2019s abdomen.<\/p>\n
When asked how he got the scratches on his stomach, Sablan replied that it\u2019s nothing and that he doesn\u2019t know. He kept saying that he smoked \u201cice\u201d and that he also smoked salt, that is why he\u2019s acting like that.<\/p>\n
Lisua\u2019s girlfriend told police that she heard dogs barking outside their house while she was watching TV. When she looked out the window, she saw someone walking back and forth outside their house.<\/p>\n
The woman opened the door but closed it when she did not see anyone. After closing the door, she heard loud banging outside the door she had just closed.<\/p>\n
She got scared and asked who it was. When the person said it\u2019s Syl, she thought it was her nephew so she opened the door a bit. When she saw it was not her nephew but a man holding a stick, she immediately closed the door.<\/p>\n
The man, later identified as Sablan, pushed the door, but the woman managed to lock it. She then instructed her daughter to call the police.<\/p>\n
While her daughter was calling the police, the woman ran to her boyfriend, Lisua, who was sleeping at the time and woke him up.<\/p>\n
Lisua said he heard the dogs barking so he looked out the window and saw a man walking around his property and talking to himself in a very loud voice. Lisua identified the man as his neighbor, Sablan.<\/p>\n
Sablan apologized to Lisua and offered him \u201cice.\u201d Lisua refused and told him to leave. Sablan refused, saying that someone was chasing him and pointed to an area, but there was no one there.<\/p>\n
Lisua said that, while waiting for police to arrive, Sablan kept offering him \u201cice,\u201d telling him it\u2019s worth $50 and good for both of them. Lisua turned the offer down.<\/p>\n
A police officer later tested the contents of the bag that Sablan was holding and determined that it tested presumptive positive for the presence of methamphetamine.<\/p>\n
Sablan was detained at the Department of Corrections but was later released as police conducted further investigation.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday at 9:04pm, police served Sablan with an arrest warrant at Quartermaster in connection with the disturbance and \u201cice\u201d possession.<\/p>\n
Limes, 52, a former staff assistant of Delegate Gregorio Kilili C. Sablan (Ind-MP), was found dead inside her house on Monday shortly after noon.<\/p>\n
Patrol officers were dispatched to the scene after police received a call on Monday at 12:12pm of a suspicious bloody room at the residence of Limes in San Jose or Oleai Village.<\/p>\n
Patrol officers found Limes\u2019 body at the entrance to the house\u2019s front living room door. She showed signs of having been deceased for some time already, with fatal injuries to the head. She and Sablan reportedly got married only two weeks ago, the victim\u2019s relative said.<\/p>\n
Delegate Gregorio Kilili C. Sablan (Ind-MP) said yesterday that all who worked with Limes are greatly saddened to learn of her tragic and untimely passing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe extend out deepest sympathy to her family and will be keeping Ding [Limes] in our prayers,\u201d the congressman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
