Santo Domingo.- An abuse of authority by National District Instruction Court Coordinating judge Rosalba Garib is what witnesses call the Tuesday morning arrest of three Chinese after a discussion over an order of chicken in their cafeteria.

“The judge bought chicken filet, she didn’t like it and told the Chinese that she was returning it and a discussion ensued that culminated with the Chinese escorted by a police contingent assigned to the Ciudad Nueva Courthouse on the judge’s order,” said Richard Manuel Mejía, who witnessed the incident.

He said the judge brought out the entire Police contingent and abused the Chinese, and arrested the woman cashier by beating her, “what she did was an abuse against those people.”

Last night Nancy Abreu, of the Office of the Prosecutor released two of the three Chinese, although the eatery’s proprietor was still being held as of Wednesday morning.

Miwong Loung and Mailay Wang were released as the latter presented a medical certificate to confirm the injuries caused by the agents.

Upon receiving her order in the business located on Independencia avenue a few in front of the Courthouse, Garib reportedly demanded that all the pieces of chicken be large, but Wang’s refusal led to the ruckus.
