Busan Bukbu Police Station.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A man in his 50s was arrested for causing a disturbance with a weapon at a district office after complaining that the garbage in front of his house was not being cleaned up.

On the 20th, the Busan Northern Police Station announced that they had arrested Mr. A on charges of threatening public officials with a weapon and causing a disturbance (special obstruction of official duties) after harboring resentment because a complaint about illegal garbage dumping was not immediately addressed.

Mr. A is accused of threatening two public officials with a weapon at the Buk-gu Office in Busan at around 4:55 p.m. on the 13th, claiming that they did not clean the garbage in front of his house.

According to the police, Mr. A made a complaint call to the district office that afternoon, asking them to clean the garbage. The employee who received the call could not understand the complaint due to Mr. A’s unclear pronunciation. Enraged, Mr. A hung up, saying he would come in person.

Visiting the district office while intoxicated, Mr. A shouted loudly while looking for the person he had spoken to on the phone. When the employee was not present, Mr. A cursed at another public official who asked him to wait.
