Juvenile bound over to High Court
Tuesday,
June 23, 2009
15, year old Filo Mamona Tupua, one of the two young men accused of shooting at police at the Samoa Ford Motors compound in Tafuna two weeks ago will be arraigned in High Court this morning. Yesterday he waived his rights to a preliminary examination in District Court.
Tupua is charged with first degree assault, resisting arrest, unlawful use of a weapon, property damage and trespassing. Charged as an adult, he is being held on bail of $150,000 at the Juvenile Detention center along with his co defendant Anton Goddard.
The government claims that the two shot at police responding to a burglary call from the car dealership on June 5. Goddard’s case has already been bound over to High Court, after he too waived his preliminary hearing in District Court.
