Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo imposed a one-year prison term yesterday on an ex-convict who repeatedly harassed and threatened a former girlfriend in violation of court orders and for threatening a Corrections officer with bodily harm.
Robert Jake Palacios, 24, pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace in the first case as part of a plea deal. In the second case, he pleaded guilty to assault, disturbing the peace, violating an order of protection, and stalking in the first degree.
Palacios conceded that he violated the probation conditions of his 2009 assault and battery conviction by committing the acts in the two 2011 criminal cases.
Govendo sentenced Palacios to a total of three years in prison, all suspended except for one year, with credit for time served.
Palacios was arrested on Oct. 9, 2011. He will be released on Oct. 9, 2012.
Upon his release, he will be placed on supervised probation for three years. He will be required to undergo anger management counseling and alcohol and drug counseling treatment
Palacios was also ordered to complete 200 hours of community service, pay a $500 fine, plus court costs and fees.
According to the plea agreement, Palacios threatened to bodily harm his ex-girlfriend in three separate incidents in 2011, disturbing her peace and violating an order of protection previously issued by the Superior Court. He also threatened to harm a Correction officer that same year.
