[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] A man in his 30s who wandered naked in a motel corridor and assaulted police officers who responded to the report was fined 6 million won.

According to the Changwon District Court in Gyeongnam on the 27th, the man was indicted for wandering naked for 15 minutes in the corridor in front of a motel room in Changwon at around 2:15 a.m. on September 19.

When the police who arrived at the scene asked for identification, he suddenly swung his fist at the police, hitting their side and kicking their thigh.

The Criminal Division 3 single-judge court viewed the defendant as obstructing the legitimate execution of official duties by a police officer and ordered a fine along with 40 hours of completion of a sexual violence treatment program.

The court stated, "Considering the method and content of the crime, the nature of the offense is not good, and the defendant has not been forgiven by the victim police officer," adding, "However, the defendant admitted all the crimes, showed remorse, has no prior criminal record, and the degree and result of obstruction of official duties are not very serious," as reasons for sentencing.
