– Officers from the Criminal Unit of the Police Station in Pieńsk noticed a Peugeot traveling at excessive speed with faulty low-beam headlights – reports Commissioner Agnieszka Goguł, press officer for the County Police Commander in Zgorzelec. – The officers used light and sound signals in an attempt to stop the driver for a roadside check. Unfortunately, he ignored them and began to flee.
It did not help him much, however. The fugitive turned onto a dirt road, where the car got stuck. The 29-year-old resident of Bolesławiec County was arrested.
It quickly became clear why he had fled. As it turned out, our local man was subject to a court-ordered driving ban and had also had his driving privileges revoked by the county governor.
Spokeswoman:
The man was fined for traffic offenses, while he will face court proceedings for the crimes of failing to stop for a roadside check, driving in violation of a court-ordered ban, and driving despite having his driving privileges revoked.
The 29-year-old faces between three months and as much as five years in prison.
