- You set up a race with the uniforms after refusing to stop for sirens
- All the time he asked if he couldn’t get away, he allowed himself to slip money into the patrol car
A well-paid man from Plovdiv spent Friday night in the custody of the Fourth District Office after committing a number of violations behind the wheel. Even the fact that the uniformed officers took his license and took down his car number did not move him, and a little later he was caught again with his car in Kapana district, “24 Chasa” learned.
The man, who is about 50 years old, was driving a Mercedes jeep on “Sixth of September” Blvd. and decided to make a U-turn at the intersection with “Oplchenska” St., to the prosecutor’s office building. At the same time, a Municipal Police team came from the street, noticed the incorrect maneuver and tried to stop the driver. However, he was not impressed by the activated sirens and continued driving in the direction of Tsar Boris III Obedinitel Blvd. A race ensued and the patrol car was able to stop the SUV near the courthouse.
Going to the driver, the uniformed officers noticed that he was behaving inappropriately and suspected that he had consumed alcohol, although he himself denied it. A traffic police team was called to the scene to test the driver with a drager. The man made several attempts to blow, but was unable to do so. The officers took his driver’s license and took down the license plate for refusing a breathalyzer test.
Throughout the inspection, the driver asked if there was any chance he would be let go and leave without a penalty. When it was all over, he approached one of the patrol cars and dropped money inside. The uniformed officers reported what had happened, and a little later the man was released. Less than an hour later, however, he was spotted again with the same car in the Kapana district. The law enforcement officers arrested him and he spent the night behind bars. In the end, they managed to test him for alcohol, and the drug showed 2.38 per thousand. The prosecutor’s office has been notified of the case.
