US soldier got in fights, damaged police car before dash to North Korea - court docs
A general view shows the truce village of Panmunjom inside the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas, South Korea, July 19, 2022. REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji/Pool, U.S. soldier Travis King faced two assault allegations and was fined by a South Korean court for damaging a police car, according to a court ruling and a lawyer who represented him.
Two U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the soldier had been due to face disciplinary action by the U.S. military. Two weeks later, on October 8, police officers responded to a report of another altercation involving King, and tried to question him. He continued with his "aggressive behaviour" without answering questions from police, according to the court document.
