A professional MMA fighter was ordered held on $15,000 cash bail Sunday after he was accused of the June assault of a woman and a 68-year-old man.<\/p>\n
Joseph Quichocho Taimanglo, also known as Baby Joe, 41, was charged Sunday with two counts of aggravated assault as a third-degree felony.<\/p>\n
If found guilty, he faces 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n
On June 28, police were called to Tamuning, where they met with a woman who was bleeding from the mouth. She said she was struck in the face three times by Taimanglo, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n
Police noted that the woman, who said she lost consciousness for several seconds as a result of the assault, was having trouble speaking because of the severity of her injuries.<\/p>\n
The 68-year-old man told police he decided to intervene when he saw the woman being assaulted by Taimanglo. He was punched in the face several times and had a cut between his eyebrows, the complaint stated.<\/p>\n
According to documents supplied by the Office of the Attorney General, Taimanglo has a previous conviction for felony drug possession and pending charges for felony terrorizing, misdemeanor assault and felony drug possession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A professional MMA fighter was ordered held on $15,000 cash bail Sunday after he was accused of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,1337,638,44,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-318408","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-local","12":"tag-mma","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
