Ex-gang member gets 6 years for selling more than a pound of meth on Guam

He admitted to running a drug operation out of a hotel room in Tumon. 34-year-old Nicholas Alexander Aguon recently learning his fate in the District Court of Guam. Aguon, a former Hells Angel outlaw motorcycle gang member, got just over six years in federal prison.

It’s been just about six years since the feds caught him already selling more than a pound of meth on our streets. From living a life as a gang member and drug dealer to becoming a father and on his way to being a productive member in society.

Nicholas Aguon got six-and-a-half years in federal prison with credit for time served for his illicit drug operation he ran out of a hotel in Tumon back in 2017.

The feds uncovering how the 34-year-old traveled to the island that year from Stockton, California working with ‘street level’ dealers to sell meth, and even selling drugs via text message and Facebook Messenger.

The names of his co-actors were redacted in the plea agreement. Authorities say he had already sold more than a pound of meth before being detected.

Ahead of learning his fate, Aguon wrote a letter to District Court of Guam Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood.

Aguon stating, “I lived a life you could only imagine and see on television which consists of gangs, drugs, addiction, and motorcycle clubs. When I caught this case I was at rock bottom. I was on the brink of destruction…”

Aguon is a former Hells Angel outlaw motorcycle gang member.

He writes, “I was giving up my life because I was loyal to an idea. The idea that my ex-gang and drugs I affiliated myself with can fill a void inside my heart…” Aguon adding, “The more I tried to fill that hole, the more I found myself in jail or in a situation that could have cost me my life.”

Aguon telling the court he had an abusive upbringing and grew up around drugs.

He told the chief judge, “People got hurt physically and emotionally because my past choices of being a gang member…I should have known from how drugs poisoned my family and my life that I was poisoning other families the same way. I am sincerely sorry to everyone i came into contact with including my family and to the island of Guam.”

Aguon asked for leniency and for the court to make an example out of him “in a good way.”

US Attorney Shawn Andersen says, “The sentence in this case sends a message of deterrence to those seeking to distribute drugs in Guam. Combatting drug crime remains an important priority for our law enforcement partners.  I applaud their efforts.”

Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent John Tobon adding, “Criminals like Aguon who distribute this poison will be investigated and prosecuted to stop the flow of dangerous drug into our communities.”

Aguon has already spent about four years locked up.

He will be placed on five years supervised released once he gets out.
