The Office of the Attorney General has moved to revoke the probation of former Corrections officer Mariano Q. Falig Jr. for allegedly committing a violation of the terms and conditions of his probation in connection with his 2015 conviction in a domestic violence case.<\/p>\n
Assistant attorney general Chester Hinds said the 38-year-old Falig failed to obey all CNMI laws in that he was arrested last June 8 for the charges of illegal possession of controlled substance and unlawful possession of ammunition.<\/p>\n
According to Probation Officer Oscar C. Torres, defendant\u2019s probation will expire on July 13, 2018.<\/p>\n
According to an amended information filed in the Superior Court, on June 7, 2016 on Saipan Falig unlawfully possessed methamphetamine or \u201cice\u201d and a Glock .40 caliber magazine containing 15 rounds of Smith and Wesson ammunition.<\/p>\n
Falig signed a plea deal with the government. He pleaded guilty to the offenses of assault and criminal mischief. <\/p>\n
In July 2015, Superior Court Associate Judge Teresa Kim-Tenorio slapped Falig with a one-year prison term for slashing the tire and scratching with a knife the vehicle of his then-pregnant girlfriend and threatening to kill her outside a bar in Garapan in November 2014.<\/p>\n
Kim-Tenorio gave Falig 230 days of credit for time served.<\/p>\n
Upon release from prison, the defendant was placed on supervised probation for three years.<\/p>\n
According to the plea agreement, on Nov. 26, 2014 on Saipan, Falig threatened the victim and damaged her vehicle with a knife.<\/p>\n
In March 2014, a federal court jury acquitted Falig of the charges that he distributed \u201cice\u201d on Saipan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
