Drunk Belarusian Trucker Detained in Germany
A Belarusian long-haul trucker was detained by German police after a drunken brawl near a paper factory. The incident occurred overnight when the driver, whose name has not been released, loudly demanded alcohol from security personnel. Upon receiving a refusal, he became involved in a noisy altercation. Responding officers found the driver heavily intoxicated; his blood alcohol level was nearly double the legal limit. His truck keys were confiscated until he sobered up and passed a sobriety test, after which he was allowed to continue his journey. The incident raises questions about the fairness of temporarily seizing keys and the subsequent decision to allow the driver to resume his trip. A spokesperson for the German police stated, "The driver was clearly intoxicated and posed a significant safety risk. The seizure of his keys was a standard procedure to prevent further incidents."
