[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A man in his 30s wearing a location-tracking "electronic anklet" was arrested by the police after violating his outing curfew and assaulting a probation officer while intoxicated.

Amid public outrage over the case of Kang Yoon-sung, who damaged a location-tracking electronic device and murdered a woman, Mr. A assaulted a probation officer who came to enforce the outing restriction in Changwon, Gyeongnam, during the early morning hours.

The Masan Jungbu Police Station in Gyeongnam announced on the 6th that they have arrested Mr. A on charges including obstruction of official duties and will apply for an arrest warrant.

Despite the nighttime outing restriction, Mr. A drank alcohol at a convenience store in Masanhappo-gu, Changwon City, Gyeongnam, from 11 p.m. on the 5th until 4 a.m. the next day and did not return home.

When a probation officer from the Changwon Probation Office arrived at the scene and urged him to return home, Mr. A punched the officer twice in the face.

The police, who were called to the scene, arrested Mr. A, who was intoxicated, around 4:10 a.m. that day and took him to the detention center.

The police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for Mr. A.
