Resident Furious Over Being Asked to Write a Visitor Pass... Left Rental Car Behind, Blocking Road for 5 Hours

Indicted Without Detention on Charges of Obstruction of Business
Blocked Parking Lot Exit for About 5 Hours

A resident who caused a commotion by blocking an apartment parking lot for about 5 hours with a rental car after being asked to fill out a visitor pass was apprehended by the police.

On the 2nd, the Uijeongbu Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced, "On the afternoon of the 28th of last month, a man in his 50s, Mr. A, was booked without detention on charges of obstruction of business for blocking and abandoning the entrance to a parking lot at an apartment in Minrak-dong, Uijeongbu City, with an unregistered rental car."

At the time of the incident, the apartment management office reportedly requested Mr. A to fill out a visitor pass, stating that the vehicle was unregistered. In response, Mr. A protested, saying, "I am a resident, so why should I do that?" and then left the vehicle as it was and walked away.

After receiving a report, the police arrived and confirmed Mr. A’s identity through the rental car company, then arrested him at his residence in the apartment complex. Even after being handed over to the police, Mr. A refused to move the vehicle. However, after police persuasion, he was released around 11:20 p.m. that day and returned to the apartment to move the vehicle.

The police believe that the dispute arose because Mr. A received the rental car from an insurance company after a traffic accident, but the vehicle was not registered with the apartment. It was confirmed that the visitor-only exit of the apartment was blocked for about 5 hours due to the commotion caused by Mr. A.
