[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Last month, a man in his 30s who followed a female driver for over 40 km, causing her anxiety, was found to have committed various other acts of misconduct, leading the police to request an arrest warrant.

The Gwangju Western Police Station announced on the 14th that they have applied for an arrest warrant for A (39) on charges of causing anxiety to a female driver, intentionally blocking the road, damaging outdoor advertisements, and other offenses (general traffic obstruction, special property damage, causing anxiety, etc.).

A is suspected of intentionally blocking the road and obstructing traffic using his vehicle on a two-lane road in Chipyeong-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, at around 10:40 a.m. the previous day.

He is also accused of following a female driver for more than 40 km from Gangcheonsa Rest Area on the Gwangju-Daegu Expressway (Gwangju direction) to Gwangju on the afternoon of the 23rd of last month. At that time, A parked his car on the opposite side of the road in front of a police substation, stared intently at the female driver, and had an altercation with the police.

Earlier, it was confirmed that from February for about a month, he repeatedly damaged outdoor advertisements in the Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Gyeonggi areas.

The police detained A, who was booked for traffic obstruction the previous day, in a detention center and applied for an arrest warrant.
