A serving police officer, known as the real-life model for the character Ma Seok-do portrayed by actor Ma Dong-seok in the 'The Outlaws' film series, has been indicted without detention following a drunk driving incident.

According to NEWSIS on the 17th, the Criminal Division 1 of Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (led by Chief Prosecutor Shin Do-wook) indicted A, a police officer assigned to Seoul Suseo Police Station, without detention on the 15th for violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving).

A is accused of causing a collision while driving under the influence of alcohol around 8:30 p.m. on the 24th last year near Severance Hospital in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. No casualties were reported from the incident at the time.

At the time of detection, A's blood alcohol concentration was found to be 0.08% or higher, a level warranting license revocation. The Seoul National Police Agency immediately suspended A from duty upon discovering the violation.

The Prosecution Service decided to indict A, considering the seriousness of the offense, including the fact that a police officer was driving while heavily intoxicated, despite taking into account that A had no prior offenses.

A is known in the industry as the person who served as the motif for the character Ma Seok-do, portrayed by Ma Dong-seok in 'The Outlaws', sparking widespread attention.
