Superior Court Presiding Judge Edward Manibusan has set a $150,000 cash bail for the temporary release of 28-year-old Thomas Michael H. Ramangmau who was accused of robbing two Japanese senior citizens last week.<\/p>\n
Ramangmau was charged with one count of robbery, two counts of assault and battery and one count of theft.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred last Dec. 14 in front of Ebisuya bakery in Susupe where 72-year-old Teruko Egoshi and 71-year-old Hissao Egoshi were walking after shopping at Joeten. They were heading back to Saipan Grand Hotel.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Ramangmau came from behind, pushed Teruko to the ground and grabbed her purse.<\/p>\n
He also assaulted Hissao who was able to hold on to his vehicle.<\/p>\n
Ramangmau boarded a Nissan Pathfinder whose license plate was taken by the bakery’s cashier.<\/p>\n
The cashier saw the incident and positively identified Ramangmau as the responsible.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Egoshi who was also given a photo line-up recognized Ramangmau as the one who assaulted and snatched her waist pouch containing cash.<\/p>\n
Ramangmau is currently under a strict supervision of the U.S. Probation Office after his release from prior conviction of federal offense.<\/p>\n
He will return to court on Monday, Dec. 28 at 1:30 p.m. for a preliminary hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
