A 34-year-old man suspected of being a marijuana and methamphetamine or “ice” user has pleaded guilty for disturbing the peace after coming home intoxicated and beating up his wife in May 2016.
Jordan Tudela, represented by assistant public defender Matthew Meyer, entered a plea of guilty of disturbing the peace in Superior Court last Aug. 3.
Tudela’s voluntary guilty plea agreement would entail the following conditions: Sentenced to a maximum of six months imprisonment, the first seven days to be served day for day; placed under supervised probation for a period of two years upon release from imprisonment; must pay a $200 fine plus $25 in court costs and $200 in probation fee, although fines may be converted to Community Work Service; undergo anger management counseling, marital counseling at the Community Guidance Services; prohibited from consuming alcohol during his probation and must obey all CNMI and federal laws as well as the rules of the Office of Adult Probation.
Under the plea agreement, failure to comply with any conditions mentioned above may result to an extension or revocation of probation or an imposition of all or part of the suspended sentence.
Tudela’s pre-trial conference is set for Sept. 7, 2016, and the bench trial is currently set on Sept. 28, 2016 under Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho.
Three months ago, in May 2016, Tudela, 34, allegedly beat up his wife after coming home under the influence of alcohol. As a result, police arrested Tudela for assault and battery and assault and disturbing the peace.
