Operatives from the Attorney General\u2019s Investigative Unit have arrested a policeman for allegedly bungling an investigation on the fatal mauling of a man who was involved in a vehicular collision with his alleged assailant.<\/p>\n
CNMI chief prosecutor Jeffrey Moots said the AGIU arrested police officer Kui Rogopes on charges of misconduct in public office and accessory-after-the-fact in connection with the criminal case against one Daniel Kintaro Santos.<\/p>\n
Santos is facing criminal charges over the fatal mauling of a Palauan man on Middle Road, Garapan across the Commonwealth Health Center last Aug. 15. Police had said that Santos mauled the victim after a vehicular collision, leaving the victim injured and unconscious. The victim, whose identity police did not disclose, died several days later at the hospital.<\/p>\n
Moots said Rogopes made a false police report to conceal Santos\u2019 involvement in that fatal mauling. He said AGIU operatives arrested Rogopes pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by the Superior Court.<\/p>\n
Efforts to obtain other details regarding the case against Rogopes proved futile at press time, since the court\u2019s docket reflected no criminal case being filed against Rogopes recently. But a news report aired over KMCV News said the AGO filed with the court the criminal information against Rogopes yesterday afternoon. Moots said Rogopes has posted bail for his temporary liberty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
