A Dominican woman has found herself in jail after a fight in a bar with an unidentified woman, said to be a Filipina, who disappeared when police officers arrived, leaving her alone to answer questions during investigation.
Worse, Lisandra Manana Moya, 31 years old, also turned out to have been arrested
two months earlier for drug possession.
When she appeared at Eastern Court on Nov. 17 (last Monday),
the two cases were heard together by Magistrate Ko Wai-hung, who subsequently ordered
that she be remanded until the next hearing on Jan. 5 next year.

Her second charge, possession of a dangerous drug, contrary
to sections 8(1)(a) and (2) of the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, arose from her
being arrested last Sept. 10 near the junction of Lockhart and Luard Road in Wan
Chai.
Found in her possession, acording to a charge, was a plastic bag with “traces of a
white solid containing cocaine”.
