30s Involved in Traffic Accident, Rambling... Urgently Arrested on Suspicion of 'Cannabis Smoking'
[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] A man in his 30s who caused a traffic accident late at night and was incoherent when questioned by responding police officers tested positive for marijuana and was urgently arrested.
The Seocho Police Station in Seoul announced that at around 3 a.m. on the 8th, they apprehended and are investigating A (36) on charges of hitting two motorcycles parked in an alley in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, and an outdoor air conditioner unit with his car (violations of the Road Traffic Act and the Narcotics Control Act).
Police who responded to a report of a collision with motorcycles asked A about the details of the accident, but he was reportedly unable to engage in normal conversation, appearing intoxicated.
The police first conducted a breathalyzer test, which showed no blood alcohol content. Suspecting possible drug use, the police administered a simple reagent test to A, which came back positive for marijuana, leading to his urgent arrest.
