Yuemei Pan
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The woman who was at the centre of the viral video that appeared to show her slapping a 13-year-old school girl has been freed. 53-year-old Yuemei Pan, who operates a grocery store in Clarks Town, Trelawny, was arrested on December 7, charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, but she was released this week after no evidence was offered when she appeared in court.
In the 30-second video that went viral, Pan can be seen holding the teen by her collar and slapping her in the face. She also hurled expletives at the girl, who was dressed in her school uniform. Police said that they received a report on the incident, which happened at her store on Main Street in Clarks Town on Thursday, December 7.
The teenager was reportedly trying to make a purchase at the time of the incident. She handed the cash to Pan, who grabbed her and slapped her in the face. Pan then accused the teen of stealing.
Pan later apologised to the teen, saying that she is sorry for her actions and will not do it again. She also promised to teach the girl martial arts and give her an allowance. Pan’s apology came after dancehall artiste Mr Vegas and other members of the Clarks Town community visited her yesterday.
Grandmaster Pan has a long history of martial arts training and is a master of the Wudang style of Chinese internal martial arts. He has published three books, including ‘In Search of Chinese Internal Martial Arts’ and ‘Solving Martial Arts Mysteries – A Breakthrough’. He has travelled and stayed in more than ten provinces in China to seek out internal martial art masters for knowledge, combat experiences and to collect information.
Known for his acting roles as Tai Lin in the film A Love of Blueness and twin brothers Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu in the Chinese web series Day and Night, Pan has won Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers award nominations. He has also appeared in a number of Chinese television shows and movies.
Trelawny Police
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Chinese woman seen in a viral video slapping a 13-year-old girl and accusing her of stealing from her store in Clarks Town has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm. Police said 53-year-old Yuemei Pan, who operates a grocery store in Clarks Town, Trelawny, was arrested on December 7 after the video of the incident went viral. She appeared in court on Tuesday and was freed when no evidence was offered.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Winston Milton, commander of the Trelawny Police Division, has sought to reassure residents of the parish that the police are working assiduously to maintain safety. The DSP made the statement at a Heritage Week church service held Sunday at the Stettin New Testament Church of God.
He said that gang warfare was responsible for 31 per cent of the murders committed in the parish last year, and the force is moving fervently to dismantle the six active gangs in communities such as Bounty Hall, Hague Settlement, Bunker’s Hill, Water Lane, and Cornwall Street in Falmouth.
The DSP added that the police have also intensified their focus on drug-related crimes, which he says are responsible for most of the armed robberies and shootings in the parish. He cited Saturday’s illegal birthday party in the community of Hague Settlement as one example where the security forces were forced to shoot out the participants.
In the meantime, he has urged residents of southern Trelawny to support the police’s efforts by furnishing them with information on suspected criminal activities in their areas. “I want to assure you that the police will not rest until the gangs have been dismantled, and I’m imploring residents of the community to assist us by providing vital information to help in this endeavour,” he stated.
Trelawny is a parish in the Cornwall County of northwest Jamaica. It is bordered by Saint Ann in the east, Saint James in the west, and Saint Elizabeth and Manchester in the south. The capital of the parish is Falmouth. The parish has a number of natural resources, including the Blue Mountains, which have been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Trelawny Courts
Trelawny, a conman and trickster, is known for his cunning nature and ability to perform magic. He joined Dutch van der Linde’s gang several years prior to 1899 and has frequently left and rejoined the group. He is also known to engage in larceny, robbery, smuggling, and other illegal activities. Despite his crooked ways, he has the reputation of being a loyal friend to his gang and is always looking out for himself.
Trelawny’s first appearance in Valentine saw him reporting to Dutch that Sean MacGuire has been captured by Ike Skelding’s bounty hunters. He then leads Arthur and Charles to a farm near Blackwater, where they discover that the town is swarming with Pinkertons and that they cannot enter it to find Sean. Instead, Trelawny distracts two of the bounty hunters and allows Arthur to silently kill them before they leave.
The Court Administration Division (CAD) has advised that operations at the Trelawny Parish Court in Rock, will be adjusted to facilitate the Easter Term sitting of the circuit court. Civil matters will now be heard at the Victim Services Division located in Rock, Criminal and Coroners matters will be dealt with at the Clarks Town outstation in Trelawny and Petty Sessions Court will be held at the Family Court.
While the Courts are not able to accommodate all the cases scheduled, they have arranged for the matter of the child and the other persons who were in the car to be dealt with at the Family Court in Falmouth. The rest of the petty session and traffic court matters will be dealt with in Trelawny.
Meanwhile, a new family court has been opened on a seven-acre property on the outskirts of Falmouth. Justice Minister Delroy Chuck toured the facility yesterday and said that it was built from funds provided by the European Union under the Grants for Economic and Social Development programme. He added that the court will help to improve the quality of life in the area. The facility also includes dispute-resolution services, restorative justice programmes and child diversion programmes that are aimed at steering juvenile offenders away from formal justice systems.
