Man fined S$3,000 after attacking friend in drunken state, threatening police officer
After getting drunk at a restaurant in Cuppage Plaza, Sim Hui Chun got into a quarrel with his friend whom he was sharing drinks with and later assaulted him.
He also threatened the police officer who tried to interview him after the incident.
The 34-year-old was fined S$3,000 after pleaded guilty on Wednesday (Sept 28) to two charges — using abusive words towards a public servant, as well as causing nuisance in public while drunk.
He had five charges brought against him and the prosecution proceeded with two. If Sim is unable to pay the S$3,000 fine, he will be jailed for nine days.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Ryan Lim told the court that on the night of July 1 last year, after Sim got drunk, he “briefly assaulted” his friend.
