A Filipino asylum seeker who earlier pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine hydrochloride (known to Filipinos as shabu) and apparatus to inhale it, and then resisting when four police officers arrested him, was jailed today for four months.
Aldrian Maloles, 37 years old and holder of a recognizance
form to serve as identification document, had pleaded guilty in a hearing last
Nov. 5 at Kwun Tong Court and Magistrate Lau Suk-han put off his sentencing to
today pending a drug abuse report by the Drug Addiction Treatment Center.
The three offenses took place on Nov. 17 last year at the
sitting out area outside 15 Sai Kung Hoi Pong Street, in Sai Kung, according to
a police complaint dated May 16 this year.
