The Prosecution Service has sought a prison sentence for a police officer transferred to trial on charges of drunk driving. The officer is known as the real-life model for Ma Seok-do (played by Ma Dong-seok) in the film 'The Outlaws'.

According to NEWS1 on the 7th, Judge Lee Seong-yeol of the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Division 25 held the first trial session for A, a police officer from Seoul Suseo Police Station, who is accused of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act.

The trial today proceeded as a closing argument session. The Prosecution Service sought a prison sentence of 1 year and 6 months.

A's side stated, "We admit all charges in the indictment," adding, "As a police officer, I should have complied with the law, but I committed a serious mistake and sincerely regret it, feeling ashamed."

They further appealed, "Since joining the police force in 1997, I have regarded it as my true calling and worked at crime scenes involving violent crimes. Please show leniency so that I do not disgracefully leave the police due to a momentary mistake."

In his final statement, A said, "I live every day filled with self-reproach and reflection. If you show me leniency just once, such an incident will never happen again in the future."

Meanwhile, A is accused of causing a collision accident while driving under the influence of alcohol around 8:30 p.m. on November 24 last year near Gangnam Severance Hospital in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It was confirmed that there were no casualties from the accident at that time.

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

The Prosecution Service considered that A is a first-time offender but decided to transfer the case to trial, taking into account the seriousness of the matter, including A's status as a police officer who took the wheel while completely intoxicated.
