A is accused of riding an electric scooter around 11:45 p.m. the previous day in the Donam-dong area of Buk-gu and crashing into the road. Officer A was caught after a passerby who witnessed the accident reported it.


At the time of the arrest, Officer A's blood alcohol concentration was reportedly at a level warranting license cancellation. Currently, Officer A is receiving treatment at a hospital for injuries including fractures.



A police official stated, “The license is expected to be canceled, and a fine of 100,000 won has been imposed. Since there is a recent atmosphere urging caution against drunk driving, internal disciplinary action will be carried out separately.”
