Office of the Public Auditor investigator Melissa H. Bauleong appeared at the Superior Court yesterday and posted a $400 bail for contempt of court. <\/p>\n
She was released from custody and directed to return to court on July 11 at 1:30pm. If she fails to appear, a bench warrant will be issued against her and she will forfeit the bail.<\/p>\n
Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho issued on Friday another bench warrant for Bauleong\u2019s arrest after she failed to appear in court for a review hearing in connection with a civil lawsuit against her over a debt.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Wells Fargo Financial Saipan Inc. filed a lawsuit in 2011 against Bauleong for allegedly not paying a $3,742 debt plus interest.<\/p>\n
Last March, Bauleong was arrested on the strength of a bench warrant for failing to appear at the hearing.<\/p>\n
At the March 29, 2017, hearing, Bauleong appeared in court under custody. Camacho released her and ordered her to continue her biweekly payments of $80 to Wells Fargo.<\/p>\n
At the June 13, 2017, review hearing, Bauleong failed to appear. This prompted Camacho to issue another bench warrant on Friday.<\/p>\n
Saipan Tribune learned that Bauleong\u2019s contract with OPA is expiring this month. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
