POLICEWOMAN Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar, better known as “Inspector Sheila”, failed today in an attempt to quash a public nuisance charge against her at the Kuala Lumpur magistrate’s court.
Sheila will stand trial for causing public distress to Nuraihan Nadzifah Ibrahim by repeatedly honking and screaming at her.
Magistrate Illi Marisqa Khalizan will hear the case in July.
Sheila is represented by lead counsel M. Manoharan.
In February, Manoharan said his client had filed to the Attorney-General’s Chambers to dismiss the public nuisance charge against Sheila on grounds that the charge was trivial.
On November 8 last year, Sheila, 35, pleaded not guilty to causing a public nuisance in the carpark of a shopping centre in Brickfields on June 16 the same year.
The charge was filed under Section 268 of the Penal Code. If convicted, she could be fined up o RM400. – May 16, 2024.
