The Changwon District Court Criminal Division 2 (Chief Judge Lee Jeong-hyun) announced on the 22nd that A (31), who was prosecuted for violating the Narcotics Control Act, was sentenced to 2 years in prison with a 3-year probation.


A is accused of distributing 4 ecstasy pills in a residential area in Jinhae-gu, Changwon, Gyeongnam, after receiving an offer to deliver drugs via Telegram for 800,000 won per week, and smoking marijuana he kept with his girlfriend.
