Richard-Toll : Un chauffeur arrêté pour avoir insulté un agent de police lors d'un contrôle routier
A driver was taken into custody on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at the Richard-Toll police station for verbally abusing a police officer on duty. The incident occurred around 2 p.m.
Police officer M. Dièye, on duty at the Neptune checkpoint, conducted a roadside check of a Mitsubishi L200. The finding was unequivocal: the vehicle was carrying more passengers than the authorized capacity, in flagrant violation of the regulations in force.
After observing the infraction, the officer duly issued a citation, which he gave to the driver. The driver, visibly unhappy with the penalty, displayed a hostile attitude before leaving the scene.
The driver returned a few moments later and asked Officer N. Diop for information about the validity of the certificate he had been issued. It was then that he hurled insults in Wolof at the officer, Mr. Dièye, before getting back into his vehicle, according to Seneweb sources.
Officer M. Dièye immediately alerted his station chief by telephone around 4:30 p.m. to inform him of the incident and the hostile behavior of the driver.
The driver subsequently turned himself in at the Richard-Toll police station to pay the fixed penalty notice. It was at this point that he was arrested for the alleged offenses.
He is identified as I. Samb, born in 1999, a scrap metal dealer by profession, residing in Gadalkhoute and holding a driver's license.
When questioned and his statement recorded, he initially denied having uttered insulting remarks towards the police officer. However, in front of the station chief, he eventually admitted to having lost his temper during the incident.
He was taken into custody for insulting a police officer in the performance of his duties and for public insults. The public prosecutor was duly informed of this arrest.
