SINGAPORE: A former Cheers employee who recorded his exchange with three police officers at a store in Lau Pa Sat will be charged in court on Wednesday (Oct 18).
The 29-year-old will be charged with using insulting words, verbally abusing a police officer, publishing the identity of a police officer, and failing to attend police interviews.
Upon the officers' arrival, the man was uncooperative and reluctant to provide his particulars. He challenged the officers who had asked to see his identity card, and used his mobile phone to take a video of the incident. They subsequently issued two written orders to ask him to attend a police interview on Jan 11 and Jan 31.
The offence of using abusive words towards a public servant carries a fine of up to S$5,000, a jail term of up to 12 months, or both.
