A Navy petty officer and his wife face charges on Guam of family violence and child abuse after a pediatrician discovered arm, rib and skull fractures on the couple’s 3-month-old child, according to a complaint.
By CAITLIN DOORNBOS | STARS AND STRIPES Published: January 11, 2021 The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments this spring in Guam’s quest to get the Navy to help pay to clean up a dump the service used for three decades, the court announced Friday. The case, filed in 2017, says the Navy should foot the $160 million bill to remediate Ordot Dump – or at least pay its fair share of the cleanup costs, according to court documents. The landfill, which leaked waste into the Lonfit River and two of its tributaries, was under Navy and U.S. government supervision before World War II until it was given to Guam in the early 1970s.
