The man who threatened to kill an employee at Bank Pacific and ‘suicide by cop’ on Monday morning has been charged in Superior Court today. 

Thirty-eight-year-old Joseph Calvo Atalig is charged with possession of a schedule II controlled substance, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and harassment. 

According to court documents, police received a report of a person with possibly a gun outside Bank Pacific in Hagatna. 

A woman known to the defendant made the call to police after he left voicemails and messages threatening to cause a scene at the bank. 

The victim told police she knew he had access to guns as she once witnessed him put a gun to his head outside their residence. 

As KUAM reported, the defendant barricaded himself inside his car causing a tense standoff with multiple officers with their weapons drawn. 

After nearly an hour of failed negotiations, Special Operations Division officers eventually broke the window and breached the car. 

Upon conducting a vehicle check, police found a makeshift glass pipe and a small baggie with meth.

Atalig has a criminal record that dates back to 2014 on criminal mischief charges. He was also arrested in 2020 accused of dealing drugs and again in 2021 on charges of terrorizing.
