Macaranas returns to DPS

Anthony Macaranas has been reinstated as DPS commissioner and returned to work yesterday following his firing by then Acting Governor Dennis Mendiola.

CNMI DPS confirmed his return to Marianas Press this evening. “He was reinstated back as Commissioner,” DPS PIO Fred Sato said.

His reinstatement also comes after a grievance was submitted by a DPS employee to the Civil Service Commission involving allegations of sexual harassment. Macaranas has not responded to MP's repeated requests for comment.

This is a developing story on Marianas Press.
