The federal court has sentenced a man who tried to sneak aboard a Los Angeles-bound flight to 203 days of time served in jail. Upon his release, Dongjun Li shall serve one year of supervised release.
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona on Tuesday also ordered Li to pay a $200 special assessment fee.
Li’s sentence was at the recommendation of assistant U.S. attorney Ross Naughton and defense attorney Mark Scoggins.
Manglona remanded Li back into the custody of U.S. Immigration after the hearing.
Last Friday, Manglona reset Li’s hearing to Tuesday, Feb. 7, but freed him since he has been in custody for more than six months now, when the maximum recommended sentence is only six months.
A federal jury last October found Li, a Chinese national, guilty of immigration fraud and false statement.
The document fraud was related to Li’s possession and use of fake parole documents when he tried to check in for a trip to California on July 15, 2011, at the Saipan International Airport using fake papers.
