Police in Cuxhaven reported three drunk-driving incidents across Geestland and on the A27, involving alcohol tests with promille levels between 0.68 and 1.28. On Saturday evening, a 60-year-old man from Geestland was spotted in Bad Bederkesa buying more alcoholic drinks at a shopping market while already intoxicated. Officers found him at his home address. An alcohol test measured 0.69 promille. In the same town, a 60-year-old man from Ringstedt tried to reverse out in the street of Bad Bederkesa at about 20:30. He damaged a parked car, looked at the damage, and then drove off. A witness followed him and forced him to return to the scene. The man claimed his passenger was driving, but multiple witnesses said this was not true. Police checked his driving fitness, and an alcohol test came back at 0.68 promille. There were also signs he may have been affected by drugs, so a blood sample was taken. He faces a criminal case for drunk driving and for hit-and-run. Early Sunday morning on the A27 near Nordholz, a 33-year-old man from Ihlienworth was found at the off-ramp area with his car parked on the roadside against the direction of travel, with the engine running. The driver had reportedly tried to get onto the motorway as a “ghost driver” but allegedly fell asleep. An alcohol test showed 1.28 promille. Police arranged a blood sample and secured his driver’s licence. He faces criminal proceedings for drunk driving. The cases are now with police for further handling, including the blood-sample evaluation and the resulting traffic and criminal proceedings.
