Lashes fined for possessing Ecstasy
Lisa
Lashes has been fined for possessing Ecstasy by a New Zealand court, but
she says she accepted the tablets from a fan to avoid offence.
According
to a report in the New Zealand Herald, Lashes was stopped at Auckland Airport
on her way to perform at the Slinky dance party and was found to have two
pink Ecstasy tablets. She told police fans often gave her drugs, which
she usually accepted to avoid offence and later threw away. This time she
forgot to throw them away.
She
pleaded guilty in Manukau District Court, but was not convicted and avoided
a criminal record because the judge thought it would hinder her ability
to travel and work. She was ordered to pay \\$NZL500 to the Salvation Army
and \\$NZL500 to prosecuting authorities.
