Repeat offender gets maximum 1- year jail term for domestic violence
Camacho
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho has slapped the maximum one-year prison sentence against a repeat offender who entered a guilty plea over allegations he beat up his girlfriend at knifepoint at his residence in San Vicente.
For the offense of assault and battery, Camacho ordered Anthony Joseph Sakisat Camacho to serve the one-year prison term day for day, without the possibility of parole, probation, early release, work release, or weekend release.
Anthony Camacho, 39, was given credit of 76 days for time served.
For the offense of disturbing the peace, the defendant was sentenced to six months imprisonment, all suspended.
After completing the prison term, the defendant will be placed on supervised probation for two years.
The defendant was ordered to pay $25 in court costs, $200 in probation fee, and $200 fine. He was required to complete any counseling suggested by the Office of Adult Probation.
Anthony Camacho and counsel assistant public defender Tillman Clark signed a plea deal with the government. The defendant pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace and assault and battery.
Judge Camacho accepted the guilty plea and the plea deal. Assistant attorney general Shannon Foley represented the government.
According to the factual basis of the plea agreement, the defendant grabbed the victim by the hair and dragged her to the ground into the house while she was struggling to get away on Feb. 24, 2016 on Saipan. He also repeatedly punched the victim in the face.
Police Detective Peter A. Aldan stated in his report that according to the victim, the defendant accused her of having an affair and beat her up.
Two days later after he was freed upon posting bail last March, the defendant was apprehended again when police allegedly seized methamphetamine or “ice,” marijuana, and several ammunitions at his residence in San Vicente. (Ferdie de la Torre)
