50-Year-Old Woman Habitually Evading Probation Detained

Probation Officer Deliberately Avoids Phone Calls and Ignores Field Supervision Requests

A woman in her 50s, sentenced to imprisonment and probation for theft and other crimes, was arrested for repeatedly evading probation supervision.

On the 5th, the Nonsan branch of the Daejeon Probation Office announced that Ms. A (58, female), who was sentenced by the Supreme Court last May to one year in prison, two years of suspended sentence, and two years of probation for theft and other offenses, was arrested for habitual evasion of probation supervision.

According to the Nonsan Probation Office, after Ms. A's sentence was finalized by the Supreme Court, she failed to report to the probation office and was detained in prison in January. She was released in February after promising the judge to comply with probation, but she deliberately avoided calls from probation officers and did not respond to their field visits.

She is also charged with obstructing official duties by assaulting and verbally abusing a probation officer who attempted to enforce a warrant issued by the court.

Director Lee Chung-gu stated, "The role of probation officers is to help offenders rehabilitate and improve so that they can live as responsible members of society and prevent recidivism. However, those who deliberately evade probation despite leniency from the court will be actively sanctioned."
