A car quickly drives into the front yard of the building, followed by three more cars in a row.
One driver gets out of the car and walks away, and after a while another driver runs out waving his hand as if to come this way when a police car arrives.
After the officers checked something, all three vehicles that followed immediately pulled out, and one person followed the officer into the car.
Around midnight on the 22nd, it is a picture of other drivers chasing a vehicle that almost caused an accident while running in Opo-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do.
When the driver of the car that was about to cause an accident was asked if he had been drinking, the driver ran away and the chase continued for more than 2 km.
After tracking, the drunk driver was caught at this dead end, but it turned out to be the police.
It was investigated that Inspector A, who works at a district unit at the Gwangju Police Station in Gyeonggi-do, got behind the wheel on the way home after drinking with acquaintances.
At the time, it was confirmed that Inspector A was in a drunken state at the level of license revocation.
[Inspector A, staff member of the fire department: (I was wondering if there was anything he could explain….) I am not here right now.]
Inspector A has been relieved of his position, and the police have started inspections as well as investigations into the circumstances.
Previously, on the 12th, a police officer at the Yeonje Police Station in Busan was caught driving drunk, and there are cases where the police who should be cracking down on the year-end and New Year rather drink and drive.
