On the 20th, the Gwangju Western Police Station announced that they had arrested Mr. A, in his 50s, on charges of habitual fraud for repeatedly failing to pay after drinking at entertainment bars. Mr. A is accused of fleeing without paying approximately 5.6 million won for drinks on nine occasions at entertainment bars in the Gwangju area from April 20th to recently.

Previously, Mr. A had a criminal record for habitual dining and dashing. It was confirmed that he committed offenses again during his probation period. In October 2022, he was caught in the act after consuming whiskey and side dishes worth about 350,000 won at a bar and fleeing. His accumulated criminal record exceeds 100 cases.

The police, considering the high risk of Mr. A fleeing due to his extensive criminal history including fraud, applied for an arrest warrant, which was granted by the court.
