An employee of the Aging Office accused of slapping and splashing a cup of water on the face of his wife at the Aging Office in Chinatown, entered a guilty plea in the Superior Court on Tuesday afternoon and was slapped with a two-day prison term.<\/p>\n
Anthony Jack Ogumoro, 39, signed a plea deal with the government and pleaded guilty to the offense of disturbing the peace.<\/p>\n
Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo accepted the plea deal and Ogumoro\u2019s guilty plea.<\/p>\n
Govendo sentenced the defendant to six months imprisonment, all suspended except for two days.<\/p>\n
Govendo gave Ogumoro credit for two days of time served. <\/p>\n
It means that the defendant will no longer serve more prison term.<\/p>\n
Ogumoro was placed on supervised probation for one year. He was required to pay $100 in probation fee and $25 in court costs. He was ordered to complete 40 hours of counseling with a focus on anger management.<\/p>\n
Assistant attorney general Barbara Cepeda moved to dismiss the remaining charge of assault and battery as part of the plea deal. The judge granted the motion.<\/p>\n
According to the factual basis of the plea agreement, Ogumoro swung the cover of a trashcan at his wife and struck her in the face, causing her to become upset on Feb. 29, 2016.<\/p>\n
Assistant public defender Michael Sato served as counsel for Ogumoro.<\/p>\n
Police Detective Daniel Maliuyaf stated in his report that a police officer was dispatched to the Aging Office last Feb. 29 after receiving a call about a disturbance.<\/p>\n
Before the officer arrived at the scene, Ogumoro and his wife, who is also a volunteer at the Aging Office, already left the area.<\/p>\n
Based on the officer\u2019s review on the video surveillance footage, Ogumoro was standing at a table and writing something on a paper.<\/p>\n
Ogumoro later picked up a cover of a trashcan near the front entrance door and attempted to swing it at his wife.<\/p>\n
Ogumoro instead used his left hand in slapping the face of his wife. He walked out of the front door but the wife stood at the door.<\/p>\n
The defendant splashed what appeared to be a cup of water on his wife\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
A witness told the officer that prior to the incident, the wife asked Ogumoro why he didn\u2019t answer his phone and later asked who was going to take him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
