An ex-convict allegedly refused to take medication as ordered by a psychiatrist, threatened he would kill a nurse, and was also tested positive for marijuana use.
These reasons prompted the U.S. Probation Office to request the U.S. District Court for the NMI to revoke the probation of Lucas Taitano Manglona.
U.S. Probation Officer Gregory F. Arriola stated in his report filed in federal court on Thursday that Manglona’s mother called him the day that Manglona refused to receive his medication and had chased away the Transitional Living Center staff that were at their residence to administer the monthly medication.
Arriola said he tried to speak Manglona on the phone to explain why he should get the medication, but instead he stated bad words and dared to send him to jail.
Arriola said according to a TLC nurse, Manglona was verbally abusive toward them and chased them away from his residence.
Manglona also allegedly threatened he would kill the nurse at the emergency room.
In another reported he filed on Friday in District Court, Arriola said that, on Aug. 31, 2011, Manglona tested presumptive positive for the use of marijuana.
Arriola said Manglona denied using marijuana, but on Sept. 9, 2011, the results of confirmation testing confirmed positive for the use of marijuana.
Manglona’s probation had been revoked several times in the past for continued use of illegal drugs and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Manglona is one of three persons convicted of passing fake money to some stores on Saipan.
In September 2009, the federal court sentenced him to one year and one day in prison and placed him on probation.
