One car quickly enters the yard in front of the building, followed by another three 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 man followed the officer into the car.
This is a picture of other drivers chasing a vehicle that almost had an accident while running in Opo-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do around midnight on the 22nd.
When the driver of the car that was about to cause the accident was asked if he had been drinking, the driver ran away and the chase continued for more than 2 km.
After a chase, the drunk driver was caught at this dead end, which 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 friends.
At the time, it was confirmed that Inspector A was in a drunken state at the level of license revocation.
[Inspector A: (I wanted to ask if there was something you could explain….) I’m not here right now.]
Lieutenant A has been released from his position, and the police have launched an investigation as well as an inspection.
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.
