A 38-year-old man pleaded guilty to stealing, having drugs and having a gun without firearms ID Wednesday.

Albert Junior Saboy was before Superior Court of Guam Judge Anita Sukola for a change of plea hearing. Saboy was previously sentenced by Sukola earlier this year for another case where a jury found him guilty of drug possession and other charges.

In that case, Saboy was sentenced to five years in prison.

As part of Saboy’s plea deal, his sentence would run concurrently with the five-year sentence in the other case.

Saboy said he's already been in jail for more than a year.

Saboy had two cases against him, but as part of his plea deal, he pleaded guilty to charges in one case while the other was dismissed. The case he pleaded guilty to had more charges than the one that was dismissed.

The case that was dismissed involved drug possession and fraudulent vehicle identification. 

Saboy pleaded guilty to theft by receiving a stolen motor vehicle and theft of a motor vehicle as second-degree felonies, theft of property, possession of a schedule II controlled substance and possession of a firearm without a Guam Firearms ID card as third-degree felonies.

According to court documents, on May 11, 2017, a black Toyota truck with a red motorcycle in the bed was stopped because the driver was speeding. Saboy was the operator of the car and said he didn’t have a license and didn’t have any registration for the vehicle because it was a “company vehicle,” court documents state.

Officers observed the VIN number of the motorcycle was scratched off and asked Sabot for the key.

When officers tried to get the key, they found a handgun concealed next to the passenger seat, later identified as a .38 caliber pistol, documents state.

Saboy didn’t have a Guam Firearms ID car or any form of identification.

A small bag of crystalline substance was also recovered and Saboy indicated it was methamphetamine and he had smoked it the previous evening, documents state.
