A 24-year-old man allegedly stole $546 from the cashier\u2019s booth of a Tinian poker arcade last week to buy some things and for his mother\u2019s birthday. <\/p>\n
Gino Litulumar Manglona was taken before Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho on Friday for bail hearing for theft.<\/p>\n
A $5,000 cash bail was imposed. Preliminary hearing will be on May 18 at 9am.<\/p>\n
Assistant public defender Cindy Nesbit was appointed as counsel for Manglona. Chief Prosecutor Michelle Harris appeared for the government.<\/p>\n
Police detective Peter H. Palacios Jr. stated in his report that the incident was recorded by a surveillance camera at Huang Shun Poker.<\/p>\n
Palacios said Manglona confessed to grabbing money from the cashier\u2019s counter when he noticed there was no one in the booth.<\/p>\n
Manglona told police that he wanted to buy some things for his house and for his mother\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
Palacios said he and another police officer responded last Wednesday late afternoon to Huang Shun Poker, where a robbery was reported.<\/p>\n
Palacios said investigation showed that the cashier left the booth to buy napkins at Huang Shun Store.<\/p>\n
On her way back after five minutes, the cashier saw Manglona walking out from the poker establishment.<\/p>\n
Suspecting that something was wrong, the cashier checked the cashier\u2019s booth and noticed that the money she had left on the counter was gone.<\/p>\n
The cashier\u2019s superior later reviewed the surveillance camera and told the cashier to call the police.<\/p>\n
Palacios said he reviewed the footage and identified Manglona as the one who grabbed the money.<\/p>\n
Later that night, police arrested Manglona, who allegedly yielded $170 and a glass pipe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
