"You're Yoon Suk Yeol's damn lapdog" ... 60-year-old who cursed at and assaulted police officers gets suspended prison sentence

[Financial News]  A man in his 60s who was indicted for hurling abuse at and assaulting police officers dispatched in response to a report of an intoxicated person was sentenced at trial to a prison term suspended.
According to Newsis on the 30th of last month, Seo Young-hyo, a judge in Criminal Division 11 of the Seoul Northern District Court, sentenced A, 64, who was indicted on charges of obstructing official duties, to six months in prison, suspended for two years.
At around 9 p.m. on August 8 last year, a 112 emergency call was received reporting that an intoxicated person had collapsed on a street in Bomun-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul.
Police officers dispatched in response to the call found A, who was intoxicated, and asked him to go home.
A then hurled abuse at the officers, saying, "You pieces of trash" and "You're totally Yoon Suk Yeol's damn lapdog."
When Officer B, who had been dispatched after additional support was requested, urged A to go home, A allegedly grabbed B's wrist tightly and struck him in the abdomen two or three times with the back of his hand, investigators found.
A claimed during the trial that he had not struck B in the abdomen, but the court rejected the claim.
Although footage recorded at the scene did not capture A striking B in the abdomen, it did record B's voice saying to A, "Where do you think you're putting your hands?"
Based on the footage, a statement B wrote immediately after the incident, and his testimony in court, the court determined that there were no circumstances suggesting B had pretended to have been struck despite not actually being hit.
The court explained its sentencing decision, stating, "We took into comprehensive consideration that A has reflected on his conduct, has no prior convictions for similar offenses, and that the consequences of the offense were not serious."
