In 2006, posing as a GuamAlcohol Beverage Control and Department of Public Health inspector to get money from local businesses landed a then25-year-old (12/2/80) Mangilao woman a trip to jail. Jodene Tricia Sanchez is accused of deceiving several business owners. One woman paid $1,000 to Sanchez for an alleged violation of local alcohol law while a store owner in Barrigada Guam was asked to pay $1,000 for a health violation.
Sanchez allegedly made a similar attempt at the TNJ Market in Mangilao, Guam but failed to collect the cash. Police questioned Sanchez this morning and she admitted she used the money to pay rent and buy groceries. She's been charged with three counts each of impersonation and theft by deception.
Anyone who may have been approached and been victimized by this woman is asked to contact police at 472-8911 or Criminal Investigations of the GPD.
