[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A man in his 30s who ran around the streets intoxicated, exposing his genitals by pulling down his pants and underwear, was fined after assaulting a police officer who tried to stop him.


On the 13th, according to Ulsan District Court, Criminal Division 5 (Judge Lee Sang-yeop) sentenced A (33) to a fine of 6 million won on charges of violating the Minor Offenses Act and obstruction of official duties.


A was charged with drinking alcohol in Buk-gu, Ulsan last October, pulling down his pants and underwear, exposing his genitals and buttocks, and running around the streets for about 30 minutes, causing discomfort to passersby.


A is accused of pushing and slapping a police officer who arrived at the scene, tried to stop him, and advised him to go home.



The Ulsan District Court stated, "It is necessary to strictly punish the crime of obstruction of official duties to establish national order and eradicate the trend of disregarding public authority," but added, "Considering that the defendant admitted to the crime and has no prior criminal record beyond a fine, a fine was imposed."
