A Man in His 50s Sentenced to Prison for Threatening a Delivery Worker with a Weapon During a Return Dispute

A man in his 50s who threatened a delivery worker with a weapon during a dispute over a computer return was sentenced to prison.

On the 26th, Hwang Yoon-chul, a judge of the Criminal Division 10 at Incheon District Court, announced that he sentenced Mr. A (50), who was charged with special intimidation, to four months in prison.

Mr. A was indicted for threatening delivery worker Mr. B (29) with a weapon in front of his house entrance in Seo-gu, Incheon, on December 15 last year. The investigation revealed that he got into an argument with Mr. B over a computer return issue and committed the crime believing that the seller and Mr. B were conspiring to deceive him.

Mr. A chased Mr. B while holding a weapon he brought from home, saying, "I will kill you." Then, when Mr. B got into the delivery vehicle, Mr. A repeatedly kicked the side door and continued to threaten him.

The court stated the sentencing reason, saying, "Considering the nature and danger of the defendant's crime, the culpability is not light," but also took into account "the fact that he admitted to the crime."
