Refusing to Get Off, Window Finally Smashed... 60s Drunk Reverse-Driving Driver Caught in Changwon

A man in his 60s driving in the wrong direction while intoxicated was arrested after refusing police orders to get out of his vehicle, a fact that was revealed later.

According to the Changwon Jungbu Police Station in Gyeongnam and the official YouTube channel of the National Police Agency on the 23rd, a report was received on September 28 at around 7:47 PM about a vehicle driving in the wrong direction on Jungang-daero in Seongsan-gu, Changwon, heading toward Changwon Square.

The responding police officers spotted a suspected drunk driving vehicle at the entrance to the Changwon Square roundabout and ordered the driver to stop the car.

The driver, Mr. A, ignored the order and sped off, stopping in the middle of the road. When the police who followed told him to get out of the car, he drove away again.

Despite continued orders to stop, Mr. A kept fleeing and after exiting the Changwon Square roundabout, he was blocked by vehicles waiting at a traffic signal and could not proceed further.

The police again demanded that Mr. A get out of the vehicle, but he refused until the end.

The police repeatedly shouted, "Open the window! We are the police. Open the door! I said open the door!" but he did not respond.

Eventually, the police took out a baton, broke the passenger side window, and forcibly opened the door, after which Mr. A got out of the vehicle.

Mr. A was found to have consumed alcohol based on a breathalyzer test and was arrested on the spot on charges including drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act.

He later had his license revoked and was handed over to the prosecution at the end of October on charges of refusing the breathalyzer test.

Mr. A reportedly stated that he "did not hear the stop order."
