At Seoul Land Water Play Festival, Lying Down Then Going Home
Riot in Taxi... Exhibited 'Abnormal Behavior' at Police Station
2 Tested Positive for Philopon, 1 for Marijuana, Remaining Drugs Seized

American women in swimsuits caused a disturbance in a taxi and were handed over to the police station, where they exhibited abnormal behavior such as licking the glass door. It was later revealed that they were under the influence of drugs.


According to a KBS report on the 11th, the police have arrested and are investigating three American women on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act. On the 8th, around 6 p.m., they caused a disturbance while riding in a taxi on a road in Seocho-gu, Seoul, shouting and kicking the front seat.

The taxi driver drove to the nearby U-myeon Police Station to report the incident. One of the women, who got out of the back seat, was wearing a bikini. Although the police offered her a coat, she quickly took it off and caused a commotion by pushing officers. Despite efforts by five or six officers, including female officers, to restrain them, and with one acquaintance joining in, the disturbance by the three women reportedly lasted for more than two hours.


Lee Seung-hoon, a sergeant at U-myeon Police Station, told KBS, “They took off their bikinis and exhibited abnormal behavior such as licking the glass door. There was no smell of alcohol, but their abnormal behavior led us to suspect drug use, so we requested cooperation from the violent crimes unit.”


Preliminary reagent tests showed positive results for methamphetamine in two of the women and positive results for marijuana in one. They had attended a water play festival at Seoul Land in Gwacheon that day, where staff found them lying in the restroom and took them home by taxi.


The women claimed, “We only drank water given to us at the water play festival,” but this was not true. Police investigations revealed that they had used drugs at the hotel where they stayed before the festival, and the police seized the remaining drugs from the hotel.



The police are conducting additional investigations to determine whether the women were involved in drug distribution and plan to send them to prosecution without detention.
