It’s alleged that during his arrest, the man tried to wield his apparent connections, claiming to know a high-ranking police officer.
It’s understood he’s been released on bail and is due in court soon.
He has since apologised to the CPF community and the public.
Officials have warned no one is above the law even within community structures.
