A man in his 60s who set fire to a plastic house and assaulted a citizen of Amon for no particular reason has been sentenced to prison.



Yesterday (7th), the 12th Criminal Division of the Daejeon District Court (Chief Judge Yoo Seok-cheol) sentenced a 68-year-old man who was handed over to trial for arson of a general building, property damage, injury, and obstruction of business, and sentenced him to 1 year and 6 months in prison.



A is suspected of setting fire to a residential plastic house in a village in Dong-gu, Daejeon, on April 17.



The fire burned down household items such as plastic houses and air conditioners, and caused property damage worth 63 million won.



Earlier, on April 9, A was also accused of throwing hand sanitizer and assaulting a citizen at the platform of Guam Station of Daejeon Metro Line 1. 



Also, in May, at a restaurant in Gongju, South Chungcheong Province, he threw a bowl at an employee and cursed, and in Sejong City, he damaged the side mirror of a car parked on the roadside.



It is reported that A did not give any specific reason as to the circumstances of the crime.



"The quality of the crime is not good, and he has a history of being punished more than 10 times," the court ruled.
