Yesterday, in the Osiecznica municipality, a citizen's arrest was made of an intoxicated man who was driving a vehicle with more than 3 promille of alcohol in his system. The Bolesławiec police reported on the incident:
A witness to the incident noticed suspicious manoeuvres by the 63-year-old. The bus was moving unsteadily, veering first to the right and then to the left side of the road. Faced with this dangerous behaviour, one of the drivers decided to react. When the vehicle pulled into a car park by a shop, the witness took the keys away from the intoxicated driver and called the emergency services.
Road-traffic officers immediately detected a strong smell of alcohol coming from the 63-year-old. A sobriety test showed that the man had more than 3 promille of alcohol in his system. He was arrested.
The suspect will appear before the court. For driving while intoxicated, he faces up to 3 years in prison, many years without a driving licence and financial consequences.
Police: – Thanks go to a resident of Bolesławiec County whose swift and courageous reaction helped remove a drunk driver from the road.
