[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] A man in his 50s who habitually committed acts of violence, including cursing at paramedics asking about his condition, removing the license plate from an ambulance, and assaulting an acquaintance demanding repayment of borrowed money, was sentenced to prison.

On the 10th, the Ulsan District Court Criminal Division 3 (Presiding Judge Kim Yong-hee) announced that A (56), who was indicted on charges of damage to public property, assault, fraud, and property damage, was sentenced to 2 years and 2 months in prison.

A was charged with removing the license plate from an ambulance after cursing at paramedics who responded to a report in October 2019 in front of a residential area in Jung-gu, Ulsan, where it was reported that "an elderly man was in poor health" and asked about his condition.

He was also accused of habitually committing violence against people around him, such as pushing an acquaintance in anger when asked, "When will you repay the borrowed money?" and pulling and breaking a silver necklace worth about 200,000 won.

In addition, he deceived Mr. B by promising to carry out waterproofing work on the roof of a house and embezzled 1 million won, and repeatedly committed crimes such as drunk driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.153%.

The court explained the sentencing reason, saying, "The defendant has multiple prior convictions, including five prison sentences, and committed crimes during the probation period, showing very poor criminal behavior. Since he repeatedly commits crimes involving drinking and violence, the risk of reoffending is very high, so a prison sentence was imposed."
