The Superior Court has imposed a $100,000 cash bail on a man accused of selling methamphetamine, or \u201cice,\u201d on Tinian.<\/p>\n
Francisco San Nicolas Shai, also known as Tick, was arrested by the Tinian Department of Public Safety for allegedly selling methamphetamine to an informer on two occasions.<\/p>\n
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph Camacho imposed a $100,000 cash bail on Shai following a hearing last week.<\/p>\n
Shai was remanded back to Department of Corrections custody after the hearing as he failed to post bail.<\/p>\n
The defendant was ordered to return to court on April 5 at 10am for a preliminary hearing while his arraignment was set for April 10.<\/p>\n
Shai, 44, is facing charges of possession of a controlled substance, trafficking, and conspiracy.<\/p>\n
According to the complaint against Shai, police allegedly learned from an informer that the defendant was selling meth in the amount of $50, $100, and above.<\/p>\n
In the first controlled buy, the informer allegedly bought $100 worth of \u201cice\u201d from Shai. In the second controlled buy, the informer allegedly bought $50 worth of \u201cice\u201d from him. On both occasions, the crystalline substance procured from the controlled buys tested positive for methamphetamine, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
