A police officer showed the right nose early Wednesday afternoon in Gmunden. In a gas station, a man who smelled strongly of alcohol approached him. Exactly this one was then just in front of the police in his company car. But at least he had an original excuse ready.
Police officers refueled their official car in Gmunden around 2.15 p.m. on Wednesday. When a police officer entered the gas station to pay for the fuel, he was met by a man who smelled strongly of alcohol and tobacco smoke. When the patrol drove back towards the so-called “ceramic roundabout” after refueling, the officers noticed that the headlights of a van parked there suddenly came on.
1.62 parts per million
When they drove back to the gas station, the officers were able to determine that this was the man they had seen earlier in the gas station. The driver, a 51-year-old from Gmunden district, was checked. An alcohol test on the 51-year-old showed a blood alcohol level of 1.62 in the blood.
„Just started charging the phone“
The suspect stated that he had drunk three beers since 1.30 pm. Also, he only started the vehicle to charge his mobile phone. His driver’s license was taken from him on the spot. The key to the company car was handed over to a colleague.
