59-Year-Old Cyclist Arrested for Drunk Riding in Northeim

Thu 6th Feb, 2025

Northeim witnessed an unusual incident on February 5 when a 59-year-old man was apprehended for cycling under the influence. The event unfolded in Dammstraße, where a 28-year-old witness reported the alarming behavior of the cyclist at approximately 3:45 PM.

Upon arrival, the police conducted a breathalyzer test on the suspect, revealing a staggering blood alcohol concentration exceeding 2.2 promille. This alarming level of intoxication led the authorities to take immediate action, including a requirement for the individual to provide a blood sample for further analysis.

As a result of his actions, the man was formally charged with driving under the influence. In accordance with legal protocols, a judge mandated that he remain in police custody until he regained sobriety. The cyclist was subsequently released early on the morning of February 6, around 5:30 AM.

This incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers associated with impaired cycling and the importance of responsible behavior on public roadways. Authorities continue to promote awareness and enforcement measures to combat intoxicated riding and ensure the safety of all road users.
