Four men were arrested on Sep. 23 after they allegedly taunted and used abusive language against police officers outside a crime scene in the early hours of Sep. 22.
The men, aged 32 to 44, will be charged in court tomorrow for allegedly causing public nuisance and using abusive language against police officers, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in a press release.
The police said that at about 5:10am on Sep. 22, officers were preserving a murder crime scene along Sam Leong Road when the four men approached the cordoned-off area and attempted to cross it.
Police advised the men to proceed through an alternative route.
However, three of the men allegedly decided to taunt and use abusive language against the officers.
The fourth man supposedly filmed the exchange using his mobile phone.
“Despite the four men’s behaviour, the officers exercised restraint and strived to de-escalate the situation, even as they were trying to manage the ongoing murder investigation,” the police said.
The four men left through an alternative route only after much persuasion, the police added.
After follow-up investigations, officers from the Central Police Division identified and arrested the four men on Sep. 23.
The police emphasised that they do not tolerate any form of abusive behaviour towards their officers while they are carrying out their duties.
Those found using abusive language against a public servant may face an imprisonment term of up to 12 months, a fine of up to S$5,000, or both.
For public nuisance, an offender may be given an imprisonment term of up to three months, a fine of up to S$2,000, or both.
