Lisa
Lashes fined for possession of ecstasy
Hard house
DJ Lisa Lashes has been fined \$1000 dollars in a New Zealand court after
being found in possession of two ecstasy tablets at Auckland Airport.
“Lisa
has warned DJ's to always check their record boxes,” said her label Tidy
Trax in an official statement. “Lisa does not take drugs but fans often
give them to her at gigs which she later throws away. She has asked fans
to stop doing this. She had no idea the ecstasy was in her DJ box as she
travelled from the UK via Malaysia to New Zealand.”
Lisa
Lashes gave a blood test which proved negative, and despite her guilty
plea, she was not given a criminal conviction. The judge reasoned that
such a conviction would hinder her ability to work, and ordered her to
pay \$500 to the Salvation Army and $500 to the prosecuting authorities
as punishment.
