On the 12th, the Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul announced that they had booked a woman in her 30s, identified as Ms. A, on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.


Ms. A was found wandering after running onto an 8-lane road in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, around 11 a.m. on the 3rd. Showing signs of incoherent speech and other indications of drug use, the police took her to the local police station for voluntary accompaniment. A rapid drug test showed a positive result for methamphetamine. It was later confirmed that the National Forensic Service also tested positive.
