Man who staged 3-hour drama pleads guilty
Alfred Jacob Teregeyo Kaipat, a 30-year-old who allegedly grabbed two machetes from Feng Hua Store in San Jose, threatened to kill his wife, then barricaded himself on the third floor of the store’s building before surrendering himself to police after three hours, entered a guilty plea yesterday.
Kaipat, who appeared with counsel assistant public defender Tillman Clark, pleaded guilty to the offenses of two counts of violation of protective order and one count of theft.
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho accepted Kaipat’s guilty plea and the plea agreement.
Camacho set the sentencing for Dec. 2, 2015 at 9am.
Kaipat waived the need for a pre-sentence investigation report.
Assistant attorney general Emily Cohen appeared for the government.
According to the factual basis of the plea deal, on July 25, 2015 on Saipan, Kaipat went to Yanyou Kaipat’s store in Dandan, made contact with her, then called her on her phone several hours later, while a court’s protective order prohibiting him from doing so was in place. On that day, he also stole two machetes from Feng Hua Market.
