The police source said that DJ Switch was then invited on Wednesday, April 17, to know if she wanted the suspect to be charged to court or for him to be released on bail as it is against the law to detain an accused for more than 48 hours. The source disclosed that DJ Switch insisted that the only thing she wanted was for the accused to make an apology which she would record and post online, but the accused bluntly refused. The police then settled to take the matter to court since both parties were not bulging.
The police source said that while the officers were about to drive out with the accused to court, DJ Switch allegedly used her vehicle to block the entrance of the station and allegedly assaulted the female officers attached to the case. She was then arrested for obstructing police while on duty, resisting arrest as well as assaulting police officers. The accused was also taken to court and was remanded in prison custody.
