Judge orders arrest of Evengelyn Jones again
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona issued yesterday a warrant for the arrest of Evengelyn Eudora Conrad Jones, who is on probation for visa fraud conviction.
Manglona issued the arrest warrant at the request of U.S. Probation Officer Gregory F. Arriola, who alleged that Jones is using methamphetamine or “ice” again and violating other conditions of her supervised release.
Arriola asked the court to bring Jones in to answer or show cause why her supervised release should not be revoked.
Arriola informed the court that Jones admitted to consuming alcoholic beverages on Nov. 26 and Dec. 4, 2016, and using “ice” on Nov. 28 and Dec. 4, 2016.
Arriola said Jones also failed to attend her counseling sessions on Nov. 29 and Dec. 2, 2016.
Jones also allegedly failed to appear for drug tests on Nov. 29, Dec. 2 and 3, 2016.
In addition, Arriola said, Jones failed to inform him that she had a change of residence on Nov. 28, 2016.
Last June, U.S. Marshals arrested Jones for using “ice” on several occasions and committing other violations.
This prompted the court to revoke her supervised release and sentenced her to five months’ imprisonment, followed by 22 months of supervised release. Her third term of supervised release commenced on Nov. 21, 2016, and will expire on Sept. 20, 2018.
On Sept. 18, 2015, Manglona revoked Jones’ term of supervised release for using “ice” and marijuana, consuming alcoholic beverages, and failing to appear for random drug testing and counseling sessions.
Jones then received a nine-month imprisonment sentence, with credit for time served followed by 27 months of supervised release. The supervised release commenced on April 25, 2016.
At the Jan. 20, 2015, revocation hearing, Jones did not show up in court. This prompted Manglona to order her arrest.
Jones had entered a guilty plea to the charge of visa fraud. In June 2015, she was slapped with a 10-month prison term. She was ordered to serve five months out of the 10 months imprisonment under home confinement.
