Police are looking for a drunk driver for hours - arrest in Heidenheim!

On Christmas Eve, an exciting and chaotic search for a drunk man triggered in several counties, which was triggered by an emergency call from his ex-wife from Blaustein. The concerned woman reported to the police at 9:15 p.m. that her 50-year-old ex-husband drove with a motorhome under the influence of alcohol. The alarmed officials searched for hours both in Blaustein in the Alb-Donau district and in neighboring Nattheim, supported by a helicopter. Despite the extensive measures, however, the man initially unobstructed, as Schwäbische reported.

The story, however, took a turn when the 50-year-old rang on a private front door in Oggenhausen and asked for a taxi. The taxi company found this strange and informed the police. When they arrived, the officials found that the man was still heavily drunk and had no valid driver's license. After taking a blood, he was arrested and is now looking forward to a complaint for drunkenness in road traffic and driving without driving license. These events on a festive evening show how quickly a peaceful holiday can end with a police operation.
