As part of efforts to improve safety in Jeżów Sudecki municipality, the local authorities funded and equipped the district police officer, Staff Sergeant Piotr Dzieniak, with a device for measuring the alcohol content in exhaled air.

The 52-year-old now faces up to 3 years in prison, a substantial fine and a driving ban lasting several years.
