A woman who was earlier arrested and charged with possession of illegal drugs has asked the court to be released to a third party custodian.
The woman, Ying Lian Yao, who was charged on Nov.7, 2008, with one count of possessing ice, asked to be released to the custody of Wang Jian Guo.
She filed the request with Associate David A. Wiseman through her lawyer, Robert Torres.
Guo is the manager of Fei Industrial Co. Ltd., which operates Parliament Bar.
Torres asked the court to have Guo be the defendant’s third-party custodian on an unsecured bond of $5,000.
He told the court that Yao will have room to stay at the building behind the bar and that the proposed third-party custodian knows his responsibility to ensure that the defendant appears at all court hearings.
On Nov. 11, the court ordered Yao to post a $10,000 cash bail and required her to appear in court for all scheduled hearings. She was told to surrender her travel documents and stay away from airports and seaports.
Yao was arrested at her home in San Antonio based on a warrant by Associate Judge Kenneth Govendo for 29-year-old Zhang Zhou Fan on Nov. 7, 2008 for illegal possession of a controlled substance or ice. Fan is the defendant’s husband.
Record stated that drug enforcement task force operatives followed the vehicle driven by Zhou while on his way to the airport on the night of Nov. 7.
The law enforcement officers, upon conducting a search, found ice between a folded newspaper hidden in the pocket of Yao.
