Mail theft suspect pleads not guilty
Randy A. Sablan has pleaded not guilty to allegations that he stole mail packages that contained two iPads and two iPhones.
Sablan, through counsel, waived the formal advisement of his constitutional rights and the reading of the charges against him.
U.S. District Court for the NMI designated Judge David O. Carter set the jury trial for Nov. 2, 2015.
Assistant U.S. attorney Ross Naughton appeared for the government.
The information charged Sablan with two counts of unauthorized mail opening and one count of misuse of postal property.
Naughton filed the information after asking the court to dismiss the indictment filed against Sablan in April over the same incidents.
The indictment charged Sablan with mail theft and two counts of obstruction of mail.
According to the information, on Nov. 19, 2012, Sablan opened a package that was not directed to him. The package contained two iPads.
On April 28, 2013, Sablan opened a package that was addressed to a certain postal box. The package contained two iPhones. The defendant allegedly stole the two iPhones.
