SINGAPORE: A man was charged in court on Wednesday (Jan 12), a day after a warrant of arrest was issued for him.
British national Mockridge Philip Richard was set to be charged in court in December for failing to wear a mask at various locations, but he did not turn up then to receive his charges.
After the warrant was issued on Tuesday, he was remanded and produced in court via video link on Wednesday.
Mockridge, 54, was handed three charges of contravening COVID-19 control orders by failing to wear a mask on three occasions.
He is accused of not wearing a mask at Sengkang MRT station at about 10.15pm on Nov 26, 2020, and at Serangoon MRT station at about 10.50pm on Dec 19, 2020.
At about 8.50pm on May 16 last year, he allegedly failed to wear a mask at 180 Kitchener Road.
