Woman Sentenced to Six Months in Prison for Threatening Neighbor Over Noise Complaints
A 49-year-old woman, identified as A, has been sentenced to six months in prison after threatening her neighbor over alleged noise disturbances. The ruling was made by Judge Hwang Hae-cheol at the Chuncheon District Court's Wonju branch on May 9, 2025.
The incident occurred on October 20, 2024, when A entered the home of her 29-year-old neighbor, B, in a multi-family residence in Wonju, Gangwon Province. A reportedly shouted at B and threatened her with a pen, believing that B was causing excessive noise.
Just three days later, on October 23, A returned to B's residence, repeatedly tugging at the doorknob and throwing B's sneakers out of the window.
The court took into account A's previous conviction for child abuse, which had resulted in a suspended sentence, and deemed her a potential repeat offender. Judge Hwang stated that A showed no remorse during the trial and emphasized the need for a strict punishment given her history and the nature of her actions.
