A former police officer who is facing extortion charges was allowed yesterday to replace his third-party custodian with his common-law wife.<\/p>\n
Travis Dela Cruz Iglecias was allowed to replace a couple with Macy Aguon as his third-party custodian.<\/p>\n
Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho approved the replacement after being told that the one currently serving as Iglecias\u2019 third-party custodian, the husband, is on medical referral to Guam. The wife, who is also a third-party custodian, will be accompanying him to the Guam Regional Medical City.<\/p>\n
Iglecias has been on house arrest and previously had four people as his third-party custodians. With the substitution of the couple, he is still under house arrest with three people (Aguon, his aunt, and uncle) as his third-party custodians.<\/p>\n
Joaquin Torres represents Iglecias in the case. Assistant attorney general Matthew Baisley represented the government.<\/p>\n
Camacho will preside over the jury trial on Aug. 21, 2017. <\/p>\n
Iglecias, 24, allegedly pulled over a vehicle for a traffic violation and threatened the driver, a Chinese woman, with jail if she refuses to have sex with him or pay him $300 last Sept. 25.<\/p>\n
After the woman allegedly paid him $300, the then-police officer released her from custody at her house.<\/p>\n
The Office of the Attorney General charged Iglecias with theft by extortion, false arrest, and misconduct in office. Iglecias pleaded not guilty. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
