Gardelegen (dpa/sa) - He seemed disoriented, could hardly stand - and was still behind the wheel: In this condition, the police in Gardelegen (Altmarkkreis) caught a heavily drunk 49-year-old in his car. The police said on Thursday that he was sitting in it on Wednesday evening and smelled strongly of alcohol.
A breath alcohol measurement showed 3.05 per thousand. The man admitted that he had previously driven to the Gardelegen district of Letzlingen. The police officers became aware of him because they noticed the man's dog was abandoned. The driver's license could not be taken away from the 49-year-old, it was said. "As it turns out, he hasn't owned one since February 2022."
