On December 4 last year, at a motel in Changwon, Gyeongnam, A made about 50 calls to 112 over approximately 34 minutes starting around midnight, then hurled insults and abusive language such as "Hey, you XXX," "Why aren't you answering, you XXX," and "You are worse than a dog, XX."

In this manner, from then until March 25 this year, A repeatedly called 112 over 17 days, continuing the abusive language and insults.

On January 5 this year, in the hallway of another motel in Changwon, when a police officer asked, "Did you report that you were going to set a fire?" A replied, "Yes, I did. What are you going to do about it, XXX?" while pushing the officer's chest five times and punching their lips.

In addition, A committed offenses such as causing disturbances at police stations or precincts and damaging property.

A also made three false reports to 112 and 119, including claims that "a spy came down from North Korea" and "there is a fire at a guesthouse."

Kim Minsang, Chief Judge of the Criminal Division 1 at Changwon District Court, stated, "The defendant has multiple prior convictions for similar offenses and committed the crime during the probation period. Considering the severity of alcohol addiction and the need for treatment, the sentence is determined comprehensively."
