The Southern District of Texas has transferred the jurisdiction to the U.S. District Court for the Districts of Guam and the NMI the case of a man who was convicted in Texas for aggravated identity theft and is now on probation.
Ronnie Sanchez pleaded guilty in June 2019 before the Southern District of Texas and was sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to pay $3,260 in restitution and $100 in court assessment fee, according to records filed last Thursday before the U.S. District Court for the NMI.
Sanchez’s probation started last Nov. 15 and will end on Nov. 4, 2020.
According to the indictment, from Oct. 28, 2016 until Nov. 4, 2016, in the Corpus Christi Division of the Southern District of Texas, Sanchez bought $1,000 worth of items using an illegally obtained debit and credit cards.
In March 2019, federal prosecutors petitioned the District of Guam for Sanchez’s removal to Texas. At that time, Sanchez was charged in Guam in connection with nine burglaries.
It is not clear whether he is the same Ronnie Sanchez that the NMI Crime Stoppers Program had been looking for in 2017 after Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho issued an arrest warrant against him on Jan. 11, 2017, for theft charges.
