At the time of his arrest, Mr. A was intoxicated. While drunk, he dropped a beverage and, when the convenience store employee asked, "Why are you doing that?" he argued, saying, "Do I look like someone who can't pay and is going to leave?" After paying, he went outside the store and knocked on the glass window with the brass knuckles.

During the police investigation, Mr. A stated that he was angry because the employee treated him as if he was someone trying to leave without paying when he intended to purchase a drink. It was reported that the weapon used in the crime was purchased online for self-defense purposes.
