The federal court has forfeited to the U.S. government the two guns and ammunition that were seized from Herman P. Santos, an ex-convict who entered a guilty plea to an indictment that charged him with two counts of felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. <\/p>\n
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona issued the forfeiture as a result of Santos\u2019 guilty plea and the plea agreement.<\/p>\n
Manglona ordered that Santos shall relinquish to the U.S. all right, title, and interest in one Harrington and Richardson .32 caliber revolver, one Savage Arms 410\/22 \u201cover and under\u201d firearm, three rounds of .32 caliber ammunitions, 11 rounds of .22 ammunition, and two .410 shotgun shells.<\/p>\n
The judge ordered the return to Santos any additional funds and\/or items that were confiscated at the time of his arrest.<\/p>\n
According to the indictment, Santos, having been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term of exceeding one year, knowingly possessed a Harrington and Richardson model 732 .32 caliber revolver and three rounds of .32 caliber ammunition, on Dec. 6, 2015.<\/p>\n
Santos was also allegedly found in possession of a Savage Arms Model 24 410\/22 \u201cover and under\u201d firearm and 11 rounds of .22 ammunition and two .410 shotgun shells, on June 3, 2016.<\/p>\n
According to Superior Court records, the Dec. 6, 2015 incident stemmed from the arrest of Santos for allegedly pointing a handgun at two men he accused of beating up his father at a poker establishment in Garapan.<\/p>\n
Police officers later checked the back of Santos\u2019 house, where they recovered a .32 revolver handgun with three bullets in the cylinder. That same day, Dec. 6, police arrested him. <\/p>\n
In January 2016, the Superior Court dismissed the amended information charging Santos with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, upon the Office of the Attorney General\u2019s request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
