At around 2.10 a.m. on Sunday night, police officers from Meißen became aware of a Skoda due to its rapid driving.

They followed the car with blue lights flashing, but the driver refused to stop. So the chase began on Dresdner Straße in Weinböhla.

The car drove along the street An der Nassau, the Zaschendorfer Weg, then back onto Dresdner Straße. It continued along Rathausstraße, Südstraße and Friedensstraße until the journey finally came to an end at the street An den Obstwiesen.

Not only was his blood alcohol level found to be 0.8 per mille, but the young man was also under the influence of cannabis. He also had bags of cannabis, opiates and amphetamines with him.

On top of that, the officers also came across a telescopic baton. In addition, there were fresh signs of an accident on the Skoda, the origin of which is still unknown.

The suspected drug dealer was provisionally arrested. The German is now being investigated for violating the Narcotics Act and the Weapons Act.
