GUAM - After retiring from the Government of Guam in the midst of criminal charges, former assistant Fire Chief Roy Aguigui is scheduled to change his plea to guilty.

Aguigui and his commonlaw wife, Rose Castro, are scheduled to appear back in court next month to submit their guilty pleas.

The two are charged with tampering with records as Aguigui is accused of falsifying time sheets at the Fire Department to make it appear as if Castro was working at GFD so that she could obtain public assistance. Castro never worked at the Fire Department. Firefighter Edward J. Cruz was also arrested and charged in connection with the case for signing off on Castro's bogus time sheets.

Aguigui and Castro are scheduled to appear in court for a change of plea hearing on January 19th.
