Woman Strips Down To Panties During Police Station Fight
A woman who stripped down to her panties during a fight in the guard room of the Guanaboa Vale police station, St. Catherine, was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and several other charges (assaulting the police, using indecent language and resisting arrest).
The 21 year old woman, who is of a March Pen Road address in Spanish Town, pleaded guilty when she appeared in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday. The Judge ordered that she pay a fine of J$2,000 each for assaulting the police and resisting arrest, and $800 for indecent language.
On the count of indecent exposure, her $30,000 station bail was extended, and it was adjourned for trial on September 29.
The police testified that on August 8 of this year at about 10 p.m., the woman and a friend had an argument and they came to the police station to make a report. While in the police station, she reportedly became boisterous and began to use indecent language. She was ordered to leave, and went to the station yard where she allegedly started making threats. When the police approached her, she reportedly started to fight them – eventually they managed to overpower her and she was arrested and charged.
