On Thursday night at around 9:50 pm, the police were called to Sabana Blanco for an accident. Although there were no injuries, one of the drivers was drunk. He was immediately detained at the scene and taken to appear before a prosecutor to decide how to proceed with the case.
The drunk driver, in a silver KIA Picanto, exited the minimarket, got into his car, reversed, and hit the back of Honda that was parked on the side of the road. The impact caused material damage to the Honda. The police administered a breathalyzer test to the driver of the KIA, and he surpassed the legal limit. His rights were read to him, and he was immediately detained to be taken to the police station for further investigation.
Normally, in similar cases, the suspect is interrogated, signs his statement, is prohibited from driving for eight hours (driving ban), and is sent home. However, in situations where the suspect is so drunk that he doesn’t even know where he lives, he is usually kept in custody until the morning when he has sobered up.
