On the 29th, the Yuseong Police Station in Daejeon received a report that a driver was sleeping inside a car blocking the front of a commercial parking lot in Gung-dong, Yuseong-gu, at 0:21 a.m. on the 11th.


The police who arrived caught a man in his 50s, Mr. A, who was sleeping in the car, on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving).


At the time, Mr. A's blood alcohol concentration was 0.127%, and his license had been canceled.


The police checked Mr. A’s personal information several times using the name and resident registration number he provided, but no records were found.


Mr. A said his ID card was in the car, so the police also checked inside the car but could not find the ID card. The car was registered under someone else’s name.


They also checked the profile information registered on Mr. A’s mobile phone, but it was also someone else’s.


The police tried to verify the address using the house key Mr. A had, but this too could not be confirmed.

The police judged that Mr. A was hiding something and took him to the police station voluntarily.


Despite being taken to the police station voluntarily after being arrested due to concerns about flight and evidence destruction, Mr. A continued to give false personal information. After an hour passed, when the police tried to verify his identity through fingerprints, Mr. A finally revealed his real personal information.


The inquiry revealed that Mr. A was a wanted person on 11 charges including fraud and rape. An arrest warrant had even been issued for embezzlement.


After being detained in the police detention center, Mr. A was immediately transferred to Daejeon Prison the next day.



The police are conducting additional investigations regarding Mr. A’s drunk driving charges and others.
