The court acquitted the defendant of the charge of unlawful detention but convicted her of possessing amphetamine in violation of the Anti-Narcotics Act. While the prosecution argued for a joint crime of unlawful detention, the court found insufficient evidence to prove the specific intent required for that charge against the defendant. Consequently, the court imposed a daily fine, ordered the confiscation of the seized drug, and applied a short period of actual detention for the possession offense.
