A cop in Daegu who should have been responsible for checking up on drunk driving was found to have taken the wheel while intoxicated but the police let it pass.
The policeman was involved in an automobile accident while intoxicated and was arrested following a report by a passerby a little after midnight on April 11.
But investigators said the policeman drank after he got home and there was no evidence that he was intoxicated when the accident occurred, thus found him innocent.
Reports of the development invited strong criticism from those watching the case.
According to the police, they went to the home of policeman Goh after receiving a report from a citizen who witnessed the accident and found him drinking at home.
He took a breathalyzer test the next morning which revealed a blood alcohol content of 0.03 percent which medically means that it was 0.08 percent at the time of the accident.
That means he should have his driver’s license suspended for 100 days.
