Authorities arrested a man in his thirties on August 9 for suspected drunk driving after he was stopped for riding a motorcycle without a helmet. The incident occurred around 5 a.m. on Avenida do Almirante Lacerda. Officers noticed the man was not wearing a helmet and, upon stopping him, officers detected the smell of alcohol. A breathalyzer test revealed a blood alcohol content of 1.44 grams per liter – well above the legal limit (0.05 grams per liter).
The man, who identified himself as a dealer, admitted to consuming alcohol two hours prior to the incident. He was subsequently transferred to the authorities for further legal action. NS
