## Summary

A 64-year-old Singaporean was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking after a Central Narcotics Bureau operation near Marsiling Road on Tuesday. During the arrest, he bit one officer’s thigh through his jeans and spat on two others, prompting medical assessments; the case also raises potential charges over his actions towards the officers.

The bureau seized drugs valued at more than S$55,000, including over 1.5kg of cannabis, 166g of Ice and 25g of ecstasy tablets, along with S$356 and drug paraphernalia. It said the cannabis and Ice could supply 320 users for a week. Investigations into suspected drug activity continue, while police are also investigating alleged offences of causing hurt and using criminal force to deter public servants; trafficking more than 500g of cannabis can carry the mandatory death penalty in Singapore.
