Habitual offender gets multiple sentences

Posted on Jun 21 2019
The Superior Court imposed yesterday multiple suspended sentences on a habitual offender who was recently imprisoned for assault and battery.
Mario O. Sablan, who has been on probation for criminal charges that date back to 2012, was sentenced to three years and nine months for three previous felonies involving theft or conspiracy to commit theft.
The sentences would all run concurrent with one another, meaning that, all in all, he’d be serving three years. He was given credit for the six months he had already served for his recent criminal misdemeanor, assault and battery, that would also run concurrent with the other three sentences.
The sentence for 2018 was one year, all suspended except for time served.
Sablan was imprisoned for three other cases prior to the 2018 criminal misdemeanor. The three prior charges involved theft or conspiracy to commit theft. One of the cases took place in 2012, one in 2015, and one in 2017.
The 2012 sentence had four years suspended in case he violated probation, the 2015 case had nine months, and the 2017 had five years suspended. Because Sablan violated his probation multiple times, the court opted to impose all the suspended sentences to run concurrent with one another.
The court, however, suspended by one year the 2012 sentence and by two years the 2017 sentence.
The suspended sentence would be imposed if Sablan violates probation once he completes the time he is sentenced to serve, a little over two years.
Sablan would also be placed under three years of probation once he is released and he is also eligible for parole and work release as requested.
Sablan is a former drug court participant before he was terminated for consuming alcohol and also assaulting another drug court participant back in 2018.
Sablan also committed theft by stealing copper wires from Best Sunshine.
