Neither the presence of dozens of police and soldiers nor the celebration of International Women’s Day prevented two women from staging a fist fight over a man in Denham Town, west Kingston, yesterday.

The police and soldiers were in the community staging a massive operation in the wake of the fatal shooting of six persons in the area on Monday when the women clashed over the man with whom both women claimed they had an intimate relationship.

Members of the security forces, standing at the intersection of Charles Street and Pink Lane, were startled when two women started arguing just behind them.

“Hey, gal! Me hear say you deh wid me man,” one woman accused the other, oblivious of the throng of lawmen around them.

“Yes! And a what? You no see seh him nuh want you,” the other woman countered.

That answer angered the first woman, and in seconds, fists started to fly.

Stunned, the police and soldiers were slow to react, giving the aggressor time to deliver several blows to her “mate”.

It took pepper spray from one member of the police force to dislodge the women who were kicking, biting, thumping, and snarling while rolling around on the road.

After they were eventually separated and placed in the back of a police vehicle, the full story started to emerge.

“Is yesterday me hear say she deh wid me man and me ask him, and him say nutten no go so, and now me ask the gal and she a come bright,” said the aggressor, who was slightly older than the other woman.

“Is because me body better than yours. That’s why you man look me and him say him no want you again,” said the younger woman as she complained that her eyes were burning her either from the pepper spray or one of the many punches she had received to the face.

Despite repeated instructions from the police to end the quarrel, the two continued as the older woman claimed that she lived with the man who was supporting her and her son while the younger woman defended her right to “tek him”.

The police had detained a number of men during the operation. The man at the centre of this dispute was said to be among the detainees.

“Officer, unnu have the wutless man in the van. Unnu don’t let him out!” the older lady instructed as she threatened to “deal wid him” whenever she sees him again.

With the crowd, including members of the security forces, laughing and giving a recap of the two-minute fight, the women continued to glare at each other.

There was no comment from the man.

The two women were subsequently taken to the Denham Town Police Station, but up to late yesterday, it was not clear if they had been charged.

Ayesha Olivia Niles Sentenced Over 30 Pounds Of Cocaine Hidden In Cake Mix Boxes At Miami International Airport

A British teen arrested at Miami International Airport with 30 pounds of cocaine hidden in 24 boxes of cake mix pled guilty to cocaine trafficking and conspiracy on Monday.

Ayesha Olivia Niles, who turned 18 three days after her October 21 arrest, received 364 days in jail from a judge who sentenced her as a first-time youth offender, attorney Robert Lamons told NBCMiami.

The London student will get time served from the time spent in jail after she was taken into custody following a flight from Jamaica. Authorities found the cocaine when Niles was selected for inspection from a customs line, surprising investigators with a rather elementary method of smuggling.

“Because of the enhanced screening at the airport, it’s rare to get people transporting that much drugs, let alone a girl that young,” Miami-Dade Police narcotics officer Maj. Charles Nanney told the Miami Herald in October.

Stranger still is the chance to forego all the delicious cake she could have made. Niles told police she did not know what the substance was that she was transporting, according to a Miami-Dade Police report, but “she suspected that the activity she was involved in was suspicious but she did not question it.”

According to the Miami Herald, Niles will be deported when her sentence is served.
