A woman who was allegedly assaulted by make-up artist Lolita Callendar, known as ‘Lola Doll,’ yesterday told a city court that she would be willing to accept $800,000 as compensation for damage to her hair instead of proceeding with the case. Callendar, who recently returned to Guyana after serving a jail sentence in the British Virgin Islands appeared at the George-town Magistrates’ Courts in hopes of having a more than one-year-old assault charge dismissed.

Callendar, of East Ruimveldt, appeared before Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty yesterday and her attorney indicated that the complainant, Onika Pompey, was willing to drop the charge.

The charge against Callendar states that she inflicted grievous bodily harm on Pompey on April 6th, 2018, at Leopold Street. Callendar had pleaded not guilty to the charge. At that time, Pompey, of Barima Avenue, Bel Air Park, was also charged with unlawfully wounding Callendar on the same day and at the same location.(Stabroek News)…[+]
