Strzelce police detained a driver who tried to avoid a road check. After the arrest, the 29-year-old explained that he had drunk alcohol the day before and was convinced that he was still under its influence. The man was sober, but now he will be responsible for failing to stop and driving without a license.
The incident took place on October 4 in Osowo, in the Drezdenko commune. Police officers who were conducting a speed check on one of the streets tried to stop a driver who was driving too fast. The man ignored the officers and started running away.
“The officers were forced to react, which prevented the driver from driving further. Despite this, the man fled on foot. After a short chase, he was overpowered and detained,” we read in the Lubusz police statement.
The 29-year-old did not have a driving license. He explained to the police that he tried to escape because he had drunk alcohol the day before and thought he was still under its influence. The man was sober, but he will be responsible for failing to stop for a road check and driving a car without the required license.
He faces up to five years in prison.
