The highest-ranking woman in Koror, Palau’s most populous state is being tried for an alleged assault on a construction worker reports Tia Belau Newspaper. Bilung Gloria Salii is reportedly facing four counts of criminal charges of assault, assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and disturbing the peace. Tia Belau reports that the charges stemmed from a May 7 incident where Salii confronted Arcangel Rafael, a Construction Supervisor who was supervising Filipino workers renovating a house in Idid. Salii allegedly told the workers to go away and that they don’t have any business being there. But while Rafael was talking, Salii reportedly started picking rocks and throwing them at Rafael. In her initial court appearance late last month, Salii pleaded not guilty.
