Drunk Driver Smashing Windows with Baton After 4.5km Chase: Midnight Chaos in City Center

This hot topic is "Arrested after a 4.5km chase."

It is the story of a man in his 20s who was arrested following a persistent pursuit by police.

Why did a chase have to take place?

That is correct. It is drunk driving once again.

This happened on a road in Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, on August 17.

Police were dispatched after receiving a report of a suspected drunk driver.

The driver ignored police signals to stop and inspection requests, fleeing for about 4.5 kilometers.

During the getaway, the driver crossed the centerline in a school zone, drove on the wrong side of the road, and sped.

Shortly afterward, with the escape route blocked with the cooperation of citizens, a police officer immediately ran toward the vehicle to prevent further accidents.

The driver refused six demands to get out of the car, leading the police to smash the driver's side window with an expandable baton, forcibly open the vehicle, and arrest the driver.

When his blood alcohol concentration was measured, it was confirmed to be 0.152 percent, a level warranting the revocation of his license.

It was news that turned out to be just as suspected.
