At 4:20 pm, Lady in White Yudaxis Pérez Meneses was on her way to the church together with her husband who was riding her on a bike. When they were at the Colón municipality entrance on the Central Street, political police official known as Yaramís drove at them with his Lada car. Yaramís immediately told them that they were arrested and forced them to get on his car. They were both taken to the Police Department in Colón. Yudaxis was kept in the lobby and did not receive any detention record (Acta de Detención). Before her release, she was fined 150 pesos in CUP based on the Decree-law 141. When Yudaxis asked about the reason for giving her a fine, the policeman said he did not know anything and was just following the orders.
