  "account": "In Genting Highlands, a 34-year-old foreigner has been apprehended for allegedly assaulting an auxiliary police officer and causing damage to casino equipment at Sky Casino. According to Deputy Superintendent Azmi Mahmod of the acting Bentong police department, the man appeared to be intoxicated and had been acting aggressively towards members of the public prior to entering the casino.\n\nThe man's aggressive behavior manifested when he intentionally head-butted three gambling machine screens, causing an estimated RM85,000 worth of damage, and two casino chairs. He sustained a forehead injury which required six stitches, according to Azmi's statement. Furthermore, the man is accused of physically assaulting a 32-year-old auxiliary policeman, breaking two of his teeth with a punch to the mouth. The affected officer has since received medical treatment at Bentong Hospital.\n\nInitial investigations found no prior criminal record for the foreigner, and drug screening tests came back negative. The case is currently under investigation for two offenses under the Penal Code: causing hurt voluntarily, which carries a maximum sentence of up to a year in prison, a fine, or both upon conviction; and committing mischief resulting in property damage, for which the penalty can range from one to five years in prison, a fine, or both.",
