40s Driver Arrested for Drunk Driving and Drug Possession...

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] A driver caught by the police for drunk driving was also found to be under suspicion of drug use and has been booked by the police.

According to the police on the 23rd, the Dobong Police Station in Seoul booked A (47) without detention on charges of driving approximately 5 km from Nowon-gu to in front of an elementary school in Chang-dong, Dobong-gu, while in a state of heavy intoxication on the afternoon of the 19th (drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act).

The police responded to a citizen's report that a car was swerving on the road. The breathalyzer test showed that A's blood alcohol concentration exceeded the license cancellation level (0.08%).

Since A was unable to maintain proper balance, the police conducted an on-site drug screening, which tested positive for methamphetamine. It was reported that A admitted to drug use during the police investigation.

The police have requested a detailed drug test for A from the National Forensic Service.
