CNMI Drug Enforcement Task Force officers arrested anew last Wednesday a woman who allegedly sold methamphetamine or \u201cice\u201d at her house near the Chalan Kanoa cemetery.<\/p>\n
DETF agents arrested again Xyleene Dela Rosa Palacios, 33, for allegedly not cooperating with law enforcement in ongoing investigations, in violation of their agreement.<\/p>\n
At her initial appearance in court yesterday, Superior Court Associate Judge Wesley Bogdan imposed a $100,000 cash bail on Palacios.<\/p>\n
Preliminary hearing will be on Sept. 26.<\/p>\n
Assistant public defender Jean Pierre Nogues was appointed as her counsel. Assistant attorney general Chester Hinds appeared for the government.<\/p>\n
DETF officer Maridel T. Camacho stated in court documents that they first arrested Palacios last March 15 for trafficking methamphetamine. He said that a cooperating source twice bought \u201cice\u201d from Palacios at her home in December 2018.<\/p>\n
Upon being arrested, Palacios allegedly agreed to become a confidential informant in exchange for her release without cash bail. DETF agreed and asked the court to release Palacios and seal the case. <\/p>\n
Early this week, DETF asked the court to revoke her release, re-arrest her, and unseal the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
