Investigators from the Labuhanbatu Police Criminal Investigation Unit detained the suspect JT for attempted robbery of firearms and mistreatment of officers at Pasar I Malindo, Sei Siarti Village, Central Panai District, Labuhanbatu Regency, North Sumatra.

JT, a suspect in the confiscation of land, tried to seize the weapon of a police officer who wanted to bring him to trial at the Rantau Prapat District Court (PN), for refusing to be brought by officers.

"Because there was a refusal from the suspect, the officers preferred to return to the unit," said Labuhanbatu Police Chief AKBP James H. Hutajulu accompanied by Head of Criminal Investigation Unit AKP Rusdi Marzuki, Antara, Saturday, July 22.

Rusdi said officers returned to the Labuhanbatu Police Headquarters to make a report on the abuse and threats they experienced.

Based on this report, investigators followed up and managed to secure as many as five perpetrators of the persecution at three different hiding locations in Labuhan Batu Regency and Deli Serdang Regency.

"Against the perpetrators of persecution and threats of violence against civil servants who carry out legitimate work, they are subject to violating Article 214 paragraph (2) to 1 Jo Article 212 of the Criminal Code, with a maximum sentence of 8 years in prison," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Labuhanbatu Police.

Meanwhile, when they were about to be secured by the Labuhanbatu Police Criminal Investigation Unit officers at the location, JT and his family fought back. JT tried to seize Brigadier Toni Tarigan's firearm, his son DT hit Bripka Asdianto in the face, and Aipda Amri Siregar was about to be hacked but managed to escape.

Meanwhile, JT's wife, T br S and her family, continued to prevent police officers from bringing JT. Another JT child, namely ALP, chased officers using a tojok (alat to take palm oil).

Police officers continued to try to calm them down, but JT suddenly attacked officers using an egrek that injured an officer's back neck and hit DT finger of his own biological child.

Five officers chose not to have direct confrontation with JT and his family because the situation was not conducive. For the actions committed by JT and his family, five police officers suffered injuries and the officer's car was damaged in the glass and body.
