Xing Bo Fang and Yu Hua Wang, the alleged leader and second in command respectively of a group of methamphetamine or “ice” suppliers on Saipan, have pleaded not guilty.
At an arraignment on Monday in federal court, Fang and Wang pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging them with conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and distribution of 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.
Wang also pleaded not guilty to distribution of methamphetamine.
Attorneys David Banes and Robert Torres served as court-appointed counsels respectively for Fang and Wang.
The jury trial will start on May 12, 2014.
The two were remanded into the custody of the U.S. Marshal.
According to the indictment, Fang and Wang conspired with each other and with other persons to distribute 50 grams of more of “ice” on Dec. 27, 2013.
Drug Enforcement Administration special agent Jacqueline R. Gordon disclosed in documents filed in federal court that during their operation against Fang and Wang, they were able to seize 135.6 gross grams of substance that tested positive for “ice.”
