The U.S. Probation Office has requested the federal court to revoke again the supervised release of probationer Ryan Taitano Babauta after he was arrested last month for domestic violence.<\/p>\n
At the U.S. Probation\u2019s request, U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona summoned Babauta to appear in court on Nov. 7 at 1:30pm.<\/p>\n
According to probation officer Gregory F. Arriola, Babauta was arrested last Oct. 3 by the police for assault and battery, disturbing the peace, and domestic violence. Arriola said Babauta allegedly slapped the face of his sister during an argument over a car at their home in Kagman II last Oct. 3.<\/p>\n
According to a police report, the sister stated she lost her vision for a while and almost fell when Babauta slapped her in the face. She also stated that she felt dizzy and unable to hear for a short while.<\/p>\n
She alleged that Babauta also tried to hit her with a broomstick but their mother and his girlfriend stopped him.<\/p>\n
Babauta was arrested that day and was subsequently released. Last Oct. 5, Babauta told Arriola that he received a text message from his sister that she does not want to press charges against him. <\/p>\n
Arriola said he contacted the Department of Public Safety\u2019s Criminal Investigation Bureau detective Peter Aldan last Oct. 17 to verify the status of Babauta\u2019s case.<\/p>\n
Arriola said Aldan advised that he needed to look into the matter and would provide him (Arriola) with an update at a later time. To date, Arriola said, he has not received an update from DPS.<\/p>\n
On Dec. 29, 2015, Manglona revoked Babauta\u2019s supervised release and ordered him to spend six months in prison and six months of home detention for using methamphetamine or \u201cice\u201d and violating other probation conditions.<\/p>\n
Manglona placed Babauta on 40 months of supervised release, with credit for time served.<\/p>\n
Babauta\u2019s fourth term of supervised release started on May 16, 2016. <\/p>\n
The court revoked Babauta\u2019s probation at least twice in the past for \u201cice\u201d use and for violating other probation conditions.<\/p>\n
Babauta was one of seven prisoners who staged a 14-hour hostage drama at the Department of Corrections in Susupe in March 2009. At the time, he was serving a prison term for voluntary manslaughter over the killing of a Bangladeshi national in Chalan Kanoa.<\/p>\n
In August 1999, the court slapped Babauta with a 180-month prison sentence and five years of supervised release, for hostage taking and felon in possession of a firearm. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
