Dancehall star Lisa Hyper is ecstatic that a judge dismissed her trespassing charges in a US court in Florida on Monday after the complainant failed to show up.

“This is a great development for me, and things have been headed in the right direction for me spiritually, musically and emotionally,” Lisa Hyper told Observer Online.

She said that she had a stroke of good fortune.

“The case was on the trial list for April 13 but the complainant did not appear for the case to be tried. The prosecutor offered no evidence and the case was dismissed. The judge informed my lawyer that there is no further case to answer and I was free of all charges,” Lisa Hyper said.

During her recent mental health episodes in the US, Lisa Hyper got into minor brushes with the law which led to the trespassing charges.

Since being released from hospital last month, she has been in great spirits. She is working on new music including a new EP and she has launched a weekly event called ’21 Bad Gyal Fridays’ which is held at 21-23 Holburn Avenue, New Kingston every Friday.

Last week, a judge vacated a bench warrant issued in the singer’s disorderly conduct and assault case when it was called up in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court. This charge stemmed from an incident that took place at the Norman Washington Manley airport where she was arrested and charged with assault.
