A Filipino waiter has pleaded guilty in Eastern Court to a charge of beng drunk and disorderly, but denied that he assaulted a police officer who intervened in the commotion he caused in Lan Kwai Fong last Oct. 29.
As a result, Denver Bautista, 36, was not sentenced for the offense he admitted last Tuesday (March 26) when he appeared before Principal Magistrate Ivy Chui, until after his trial on the unresolved case is finished. He was freed on bail of $5,000 until then.
