Woman nabbed for possessing ecstasy

DENPASAR, Bali: A 32-year old woman, claiming to be an
Australian was arrested by police at her residence on Jl.
Mertasari in the Kerobokan area on Friday for alleged possession
of ecstasy pills.

The Denpasar police detectives chief Comr. Cahyo Budi Siswanto
said that police found ten ecstasy pills stashed inside a cabinet
in the bathroom of the house where Linda Jordan was staying.

The house is just a few kilometers north of Bali's well-known
Kuta holiday resort.

Officer Cahyo said that Jordan had told detectives that she
was an Australian.

But, the Australian Consul in Bali, Ross Tysoe, in a phone
conversation with The Jakarta Post on Friday evening stated that
he couldn't confirm Jordan's claim yet.

"I can't confirm it until I meet the person. I am not saying
that I am not aware of this incident, but in accordance with the
privacy restriction policy, I can't disclose any details until I
meet with the person," Tysoe said.

Cahyo said that the arrest of Jordan was initiated by the
arrest of Gusti Putu Lokia also hours earlier in Kuta. The 32-
year-old man was found possessing nine green ecstasy pills, which
he claimed to be from Jordan. (zen)
