Muscat was charged among others for having between the 14th and 15th of April 2013 in Marsalforn, assaulted a Police Sergeant and two Constables, as well as resisting arrest.

Muscat was also accused of having disobeyed Police orders, driven a vehicle recklessly, carelessly and dangerously, having exceeded the speed limit and for breaching a previous bail condition imposed on him by the Gozo Magistrates Court.

He was also accused of having reported a crime which he knew did not occur, for defaming Police officers and accusing them, whilst knowing they were innocent.
