A man who was arrested for trespassing was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of six months, all suspended except for four months that he must serve without eligibility of parole, early release, or work release.
Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo sentenced Tyneth Santos Mariur to a six-month imprisonment term after pleading guilty to trespassing and pulling a blanket covering a woman who was sleeping in the early morning hours of Nov. 12, 2022.
Mariur, 19, has pleaded guilty to criminal trespass and disturbing the peace.
Govendo gave Mariur credit for the 86 days the defendant had already served since Nov. 12, 2022.
Mariur will be released from the custody of the Department of Corrections on March 24, 2023, at 8am.
After serving his sentence, Mariur will be placed on supervised probation for two years beginning on March 24, 2023.
According to the complaint against Mariur, Department of Public Safety officers responded to a call about an attempted rape in a residence in Chalan Kiya at around 4:11am last Nov. 12, 2022.
At the scene, the officers met with the victim who was in tears inside a car near her house.
She told police that she got home from work at around 10pm and went to bed. She said she left her door unlocked in case her boyfriend would come over.
At around 3am, she was awakened by someone pulling off her blanket.
She said when she looked up, she saw Mariur standing next to her by the bed and holding her blanket. She said she began screaming, stood up and asked him what he was doing there. She then ran to her car where she called her boyfriend and the police.
Mariur, who police said smelled heavily of alcohol, claimed that he heard someone at the back of his house so he went over to the victim’s residence to ask the woman’s boyfriend, a police officer, to help him look around for “stealers.”
When no one responded to his knocks, Mariur said he entered the home and called for the woman’s boyfriend from the living room.
