RRI.CO.ID. Jakarta - An 18-year-old French teenager was charged in Singapore for licking a straw from a juice vending machine and putting it back. Police say this is mischief and a public nuisance.
Didier Gaspard Owen Maximilien posted a video of the act on his Instagram Story. The caption said "city is not safe". The video later went viral after others shared it online.
The incident happened on March 12 at a shopping mall in Singapore. The vending machine belongs to a company called iJooz.
After the video spread, iJooz reported it to the police. The company also replaced all 500 straws in the machine and cleaned it to make sure it was safe.
Many people online were upset by the video. Local news sites also picked up the story after it was shared on a community page.
Maximilien is a student at Essec Business School’s Singapore campus. The school said it knows about the case and is doing its own investigation. His parents flew to Singapore and a school staff member will be his bailor.
If found guilty, Maximilien could face over two years in jail and heavy fines. His next court date is set for May 22
