Sulaiman Abdul Majid Maricar, 34-years-old, pleaded guilty earlier today (28 May) to one charge of using criminal force on a public servant.
He was in police lock-up when he pangsai inside a paper cup (given to him for lunch) and threw it at an AETOS officer.
He is also facing five other charges, including theft, housebreaking to commit theft, as well as other charges that will be taken into consideration during sentencing.
Sulaiman had reportedly committed a series of theft last October, among which he stole phones from a lorry, a motorcycle and cash from a hawker stall.
On 6 October, Sulaiman was walking around carparks at Sembawang with the intention of stealing when he saw a lorry and managed to open the door due to a spoilt lock.
He took three phones, a power bank, three face masks and a cash card from the lorry.
Sulaiman was arrested but later released pending investigations.
On 13 October, Sulaiman was arrested again for stealing from vehicle and was subsequently locked up at Woodlands Police Divisional Headquarters.
Inside (the next day), he was given lunch, including a paper cup with a beverage inside.
He then took a sh*t inside the cup and kept it, biding his time.
A 24-year-old AETOS officer on duty made his rounds later that evening to colelct food packets and paper cups, and Sulaiman passed him his food packet, before throwing the “sh*t cup” at the officer.
The sh*t landed on the officer’s uniform, torso, pants and boots.
The officer then asked Sulaiman for an explanation but was ignored.
The sentencing has been adjourned to June with the judge calling for a preventive detention suitability report.
