Drunk driving ends in custody cell

After a short drive, the 43-year-old threatened another passer-by (m/32) on Wiesestraße. Both victims meanwhile noticed the smell of alcohol from the suspect and informed the Gera police. They were able to identify the intoxicated 43-year-old while he was driving. A breathalyzer test showed a value of 2.29 per mille. He was consequently taken to a hospital for a blood test. The accused wanted to resist this measure, which led to resistance in the hospital. As he continued to behave aggressively after the blood sample was taken, he was finally taken into custody. He now has to face criminal charges for drunk driving, threats, and resistance against enforcement officers. In addition, he no longer has a driver's license. (AK)
