Jhavanni Sherrae Naputi, one of three people identified by police in connection with robbery investigations and an attempted use of a stolen credit card on Oct. 26, has been charged after she was found in the Ordot Pipeline jungle the following morning, according to a magistrate complaint filed in the Superior Court of Guam.
The complaint, filed Oct. 29, states that officers responded to Guam Premier Outlets at about 10:59 a.m. Oct. 26 for a reported theft of property. A woman told police an unknown man approached her from behind in the parking lot, forcibly grabbed her purse and fled in a white Toyota Tacoma.
Credit cards reported stolen in the incident were later used in attempted purchases at Don Don Donki, according to the complaint. Police alleged that a man using a motorized shopping cart at the store's self-checkout area was approached by a woman and another man. The woman was identified as Naputi.
The three allegedly left the store and went to a white Toyota Tacoma that drove toward Route 10 and Home Depot. The complaint states that the merchandise, valued at $256.68, was abandoned at the self-checkout register after multiple credit card transactions were declined.
At about noon, officers spotted the Tacoma traveling at a high rate of speed on Route 4 in Hagåtña. Police followed the vehicle through Agana Heights and Sinajana before it stopped near Pipeline Road, where its occupants fled on foot into a jungle area, according to the complaint.
At about 3 p.m., officers noticed a black Toyota Camry following police units as they headed to assist with impounding the Tacoma. The Camry's front license plate was allegedly obstructed by a cover, and its windshield was cracked, which police described as equipment violations.
Officers stopped the Camry near the Pipeline Road intersection. The driver identified himself as Naputi's ex-boyfriend and told police he was there to pick her up after she shared her location with him, according to the complaint.
Police said the location pin placed Naputi south of their position. The complaint also describes a photo sent to the man at 12:49 p.m. that allegedly showed Naputi wearing a black-and-white spaghetti-strap top and blue shorts, with messy hair, sweat and dirt on her left leg.
A WhatsApp message from Naputi indicated that “John picked her up from Toya,” according to the complaint. John was later identified as Jonathan Untalan.
The complaint does not indicate whether officers attempted to locate Naputi using the shared location at that time.
