A man in his 50s, who threatened the police by dragging an excavator to a district office out of dissatisfaction with the drunk driving crackdown, was arrested.

The Haman Police Station in Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 16th that it arrested a man in his 50s on charges of dragging an excavator to a patrol division and committing a crime (obstruction of execution of special public affairs, drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act).

A is accused of threatening the police by riding his own excavator in front of the Gaya district about an hour and a half later after being caught drunk driving on a road in Gaya-eup, Haman-gun, around 2 a.m. on the 13th.

At the time of the drunk driving detection, A's blood alcohol concentration was 0.144%, which was the level of license revocation (more than 0.08%). A protested, saying, "I only drove 100 meters, but why is this drunk driving?" but it was not accepted.

Accordingly, it was investigated that he did this while intoxicated after the police returned home.

Police officers in the district immediately restrained A and arrested him as a red-handed offender. At this time, A's blood alcohol concentration, measured again, was 0.163%, higher than the value at the time of the first breath test.

The police applied for an arrest warrant against A, who had a history of drunk driving in the past, and obtained a warrant from the court.
