On Dec. 27, 2019, Superior Court Associate Judge Teresa K. Kim-Tenorio signed and authorized the issuance of a search warrant of Emerita Q. Camacho’s residence in Susupe. Arrest warrants for Emerita Q. Camacho, and Carlene Faisao were also signed, with a cash bail set at $20,000 for each one. They face charges of misuse of a financial instrument and conspiracy to commit misuse of a financial instrument.
On Dec. 30, 2019, at about 12:06pm, police executed the arrest warrants for both individuals in Susupe. Camacho and Faisao were then brought to the Department of Corrections where they were both booked and detained. During the search of the residence, evidence including the checks that were allegedly used to commit forgery and theft were recovered.
