Late-Night Police Evasions Across Germany Lead to Detentions, Testing and Seizures
Police ordered blood tests, seized licences and impounded a car as investigations continue.
Overview
- In Hagen around 1 a.m., a 42-year-old Skoda driver fled a stop, resisted violently, was restrained, tested around 2.0‰ after a blood draw and spent the night in custody as drugs and a half-empty vodka bottle were found.
- In Kaiserslautern, a 70-year-old ignored lights and siren, abandoned his car and ran before officers detained him, noted strong alcohol odor, ordered a blood sample after he refused a breath test and secured his licence.
- Near Altenstadt around 3 a.m., a driver steered into a maize field, fled on foot with a passenger, was located and taken to the station, was found unfit to drive without a licence and had his car impounded with proceedings opened.
- Each case involved attempts to evade nighttime traffic controls in separate regions, prompting immediate detention and evidence collection by local police.
- Blood analysis results and formal charging decisions remain outstanding as the three investigations proceed.
