The Superior Court has imposed a $25,000 cash bail on a man accused of stabbing his wife multiple times, punching her daughter, and flipping over her son out of anger. <\/p>\n
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph Camacho imposed Monday a $25,000 cash bail on Bill M. Manglona, who is accused of repeatedly stabbing his wife with a screwdriver, punching her 1-year-old daughter, and flipping over her 7-year-old son in anger. <\/p>\n
The police report kept referring to the children as the wife\u2019s daughter and son, and their relation to Manglona was not immediately clarified.<\/p>\n
Manglona, a Rota resident, is facing charges of assault, assault and battery, assault with a dangerous weapon, disturbing the peace, and child abuse.<\/p>\n
Manglona, 29, was arrested by the Rota Department of Public Safety last Dec. 2, but was only brought to the CNMI Superior Court last Monday for a bail hearing and his initial appearance before a judge. <\/p>\n
Following the hearing, Camacho ordered that Manglona be remanded back to Department of Corrections custody for failure to post bail. <\/p>\n
The judge ordered Manglona to return to court on Dec. 14, for a preliminary hearing while his arraignment was set for Dec. 19, at 9am. <\/p>\n
The court appointed assistant public defender Emily Thomsen to represent Manglona in this matter while assistant attorney general Frances Demapan represents the government.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Manglona\u2019s wife filed an in-person complaint against her husband at the DPS central on Rota accusing him of domestic violence last Dec. 2. <\/p>\n
The victim told police that her husband, Manglona, stabbed her multiple times with a screwdriver and abused their two children on two separate occasion and she fears for her life.<\/p>\n
She claims that Manglona has been threatening to kill her since Nov. 26, and that he has been beating her since 2014.<\/p>\n
According to the victim, on Dec. 1, Manglona flipped her 7-year-old son by the feet, which caused her son to hit his head on some rocks lying on the ground. He also allegedly punched her 1-year-old daughter on her left rib in a fit of rage. <\/p>\n
That same day, the victim said, Manglona hit her all over her body, causing bruises to form.<\/p>\n
Prior to the Dec. 1 incident, the victim said on Nov. 30, Manglona stabbed her multiple times with a black screwdriver, including her head, and only stopped when he saw her head start to bleed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
