Table of Contents
A 45-year-old man was apprehended in Zlaté Moravce, Slovakia, after testing positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA, and marijuana while operating a vehicle. The incident, initially triggered by a seatbelt violation, highlights the ongoing challenges of drug-impaired driving and the deceptive nature of illicit substances.
Police officers from the District Department of the police Corps Zlaté Moravce initially stopped the Ford Focus after observing the driver was not wearing a seatbelt. A subsequent breathalyzer test for alcohol proved negative, but officers noted visible signs suggesting the possible ingestion of narcotic drugs. A field drug test confirmed their suspicions.
Initial Drug Screen and Hospital Confirmation
The initial roadside test indicated the presence of four illicit substances.Further analysis of biological material at a hospital corroborated these findings. “The driver confessed to the use of substances,” a senior official stated,”but did not understand why he did not test positive for cocaine,which he also believed he had consumed.”
This confusion led to a startling revelation: laboratory examination determined that the substance the man had purchased was not, in fact, cocaine. The police are now encouraging the driver to report the incident to authorities as a potential case of drug fraud.
Further Investigation and Public Safety Concerns
the biological samples have been sent for a more detailed expert examination to precisely quantify the concentration of each narcotic drug present in the driver’s system. This data will be crucial for legal proceedings and understanding the extent of impairment.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of purchasing drugs from unregulated sources and the potential for misrepresentation. It also underscores the commitment of the Regional Directorate of the Police Force in Nitra to actively combat drug-impaired driving and ensure public safety.
