Drug Intoxication Leads to Assault on Police Officer... Successive Drug Offenders Arrested in Gwangju

Drug offenders, including a man in his 30s who caused a disturbance while intoxicated on drugs in the Gwangju area, were consecutively arrested.

The Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station announced on the 20th that they are investigating A (in his 30s) on charges including violation of the Narcotics Control Act.

A is suspected of causing a disturbance around 3 a.m. the previous day at the entrance of a lodging business in Songjeong-dong, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, and assaulting police officers who responded to the report.

The police judged that A’s behavior was abnormal as there was no smell of alcohol and conducted a simple test, which confirmed a positive reaction for methamphetamine.

A partially admitted to the charges but was incoherent about the circumstances of the purchase.

Two others, including B (in his 30s), who dropped a bag of drugs on the street and fled after being startled by a barking dog, were also arrested by the police.

The Western Police Station applied charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act and detained them.

B and others are suspected of attempting to purchase 0.2g of methamphetamine in a residential area of Gwangcheon-dong, Seo-gu, around 10 p.m. on the 28th of last month.

They ordered methamphetamine remotely from a seller they met through the internet messenger Telegram. The transaction was conducted using the so-called "throwing" method, where drugs are hidden at a specific location and then retrieved.

During this process, they were startled by a barking dog and dropped the drugs on the street before fleeing.

A citizen found a plastic bag containing white powder on the street and reported it to the police, leading to their capture.

The police are currently pursuing the group involved in selling or delivering drugs to them.
