The CNMI Superior Court imposed last Wednesday a $10,000 cash bail on a Department of Corrections officer who was arrested after allegedly running over a woman\u2019s leg with a car.<\/p>\n

Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph Camacho imposed a $10,000 cash bail on Jessme Jones Martin, 22, who is facing charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, and disturbing the peace.<\/p>\n

Camacho ordered Martin to return to court on Dec. 20 for a preliminary hearing while her arraignment was set for Jan 8.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, the incident happened back on Nov. 6 but an arrest warrant for Martin was only issued yesterday. Court documents did not clarify why.<\/p>\n

The complaint against Martin states that police responded at around 4:18pm on Nov. 6 to a disturbing the peace call at a residence in Kagman, where they met four women, one of them being Martin.<\/p>\n

Police noted that one of the women, later identified as Camille Torres, claimed that Martin hit her with her car.<\/p>\n

Torres, in an interview with police, said she and Martin\u2019s husband, Nicko Martin, were earlier inside the residence when they heard shouting and things being thrown around.<\/p>\n

Torres said it was Jessme Martin who was outside the house and she was trying to kick the door open.<\/p>\n

Torres said Nicko Martin later opened the door and tried to hold on to Jessme Martin as Torres tried to run out of the house; however, she claims that Jessme Martin and two other women charged at her and began beating her.<\/p>\n

While she was on the ground, Torres claims Martin got into her car and ran over her left leg.<\/p>\n

Saimon Topias was arrested and brought before Superior Court Associate Judge Wesley Bogdan last Tuesday after hitting his girlfriend with a car just a few feet beside the Koblerville Mobil gas station.<\/p>\n
