The federal court has imposed no bail on a woman who was arrested Thursday by Drug Enforcement Administration-CNMI Task Force agents for allegedly selling crystal methamphetamine or “ice” on Saipan.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge Alex R. Munson granted the U.S. government’s motion to impose no bail “at this time” on Julita A. Sablan.
Munson remanded the 35-year-old Sablan back into the custody of the U.S. Marshal.
Preliminary hearing was set for April 12 at 9am.
DEA alleged that their confidential source managed to purchase $200 worth of “ice” from Sablan at her residence in Tanapag Tuesday.
The DEA-CNMI Task Force agents, with the assistance of police officers, also seized many appliances, including six TV sets, during the raid on the defendant’s house. The agents suspected that the defendant obtained the seized items in connection with her illicit drug activities.
Court records show that in May 1998, the federal court sentenced Sablan to six months in prison and 36 months of supervised release for distribution of “ice.”
In May 2000, the federal court ordered the defendant to perform an additional 100 hours of community work service for violating some conditions of the term of her supervision.
In August 2000, the federal court found that Sablan violated again some conditions of her supervision. The court revoked her probation and sentenced her to nine months incarceration plus 27 months of supervised release. (Ferdie de la Torre)
