Judge jails him after he violates probation for a second time
By SUE REINERT The Patriot Ledger
BOSTON- A Quincy man convicted of stealing money orders from a Postal Service mailbox violated probation for the second time a month after he finished serving time for his first violation, authorities said.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock ordered David Lugo, 25, to serve four months for getting drunk at an in-patient drug-treatment center in June and failing to complete the program.
Lugo will get credit for spending 12 days in detention after being arrested June 22. After he gets out of prison, he must immediately spend six months in a Boston residential drug-treatment program and will be on probation for 28 months, Woodlock said.
Lugo, his brother, Angel Lugo, 31, who lived with him at 40 Nelson St., Quincy, and Angel Lugo’s girlfriend, Dawn Frank, 22, of Swansea, admitted last year that they broke into a mail collection box in Charlestown on May 1.
They altered the money orders they stole so Frank could sign and cash them, prosecutors said. The Lugos and Frank allegedly used the proceeds, $414, to buy drugs.
All three pleaded guilty to mail theft. The Lugos also pleaded guilty to altering a money order, and Frank admitted to cashing it.
Woodlock sentenced David Lugo to time served in detention and three years of probation on Dec. 21. Later, Woodlock ordered Angel Lugo to prison for a year and a day and put him on probation for three years. Frank received a sentence of time served and three years of probation.
By failing to enter a drug-treatment program, David Lugo violated probation for the first time a month after he was sentenced, court records say.
Woodlock ordered that he spend four months in prison, followed by 32 months of probation.
Lugo left prison May 11 and entered a drug-treatment center in Falmouth on May 15, authorities said.
He resisted treatment and tests showed that he was drunk a month later, probation officials said.
