A Man in His 30s Arrested on the Day His Ex-Girlfriend Reported Stalking... Weapon Found in Bag
A man in his 30s who was waiting for his ex-girlfriend, who had just reported stalking to the police, was arrested at the scene while carrying a weapon.
According to Ulsan Jungbu Police Station on the 10th, a woman in her 20s, Ms. A, came to the police station around 5 p.m. on the 8th and reported, "I am receiving death threats from my ex-boyfriend."
The police received the report and, after investigation, provided her with a smartwatch for personal safety. Judging that a dangerous situation could occur, five police officers accompanied Ms. A to help her return home safely.
At the complainant's parking lot, Ms. A was startled to find her ex-boyfriend, Mr. B.
The police first evacuated Ms. A into a police car, then searched the area around the vehicle and approached Mr. B, who was carrying a bag between parked cars, for a stop-and-frisk.
The police confirmed that a weapon was inside the bag and arrested Mr. B on the spot as a suspect caught in the act.
According to the investigation, Ms. A and Mr. B had been in a relationship for several years but recently often quarreled over issues such as a pet dog. On the 29th of last month, during an argument at home, Mr. B threatened Ms. A with a weapon.
Afterward, Ms. A declared she wanted to cut ties, but Mr. B repeatedly threatened her dozens of times via phone calls and texts, saying "I will kill you." He also sent her photos of purchasing weapons and videos of "random weapon rampages."
