Two women who were arrested on the GIMPA Link road today but engaged in heated exchanges with the Police have been remanded to one week in Police custody.
Priscilla Okyere and Clara Wontumi were charged on 9 counts including fleeing or attempting to elude a public officer, resisting arrest, use of abusive language, driving on the shoulders of the road, causing danger to other users and careless and inconsiderate driving.
They will be in police custody for one week after which they will appear before the La District Magistrate Court for their punishment.
The Magistrate Her Worship Juliet Osei Duodo cautioned the youth to treat the Police with respect.
She recounted an instance where police officers arrested her for not embossing her road worthy and insurance stickers even though she had both in her case.
According to her, she would have been the Magistrate to sit on her own case as the incident occurred within her jurisdiction.
She, however, did not throw her weight about nor use intemperate language in engaging the police.
She added that she rather pleaded with the police to help her emboss the stickers as she is not good at doing so.
With this example, she remanded the two ladies who while in court insisted that their conduct was as a result of how the Police spoke to them.
