10:37 am on 4 May 2017

The troubled Northern Marianas former deputy police chief has been convicted of further offences.

This week the Department of Public Safety's former deputy commissioner Ambrosio Ogumoro was found guilty on two corruption charges but acquitted on four others.

In January 2016, a Superior Court jury had found Ogumoro guilty of conspiracy to commit theft of services, and theft of services pertaining to the same incident, that of shielding then-attorney general Edward Buckingham from being served a penal summons in August 2012.

Now he has also been convicted of five counts of misconduct in public office, one count of obstructing justice, interfering with a law enforcement officer or witness, and one count of criminal coercion.
