Drunk prosecutor in Plzeň, Czechia, hit two parked cars and fled

In Plzeň on Wednesday, a drunk state prosecutor lightly hit two parked cars and left the scene of the accident. Police later stopped him in the south of the Plzeň Region: his breath test showed more than three per mille of alcohol. The news site Novinky reported this.

According to police spokeswoman Eva Červenková, the accidents happened in a car park on Vocelova street at around 1 p.m. “According to the information available, a driver born in 1961, in a Lexus, hit two cars, a Škoda and a Subaru. He drove away from the scene without fulfilling his duties as a party to the accident,” she said.

The driver was checked near Přeštice. After a breath test, he also agreed to a blood sample. Police are investigating the case on suspicion of endangering safety while under the influence of alcohol or other substances. The prosecutor is currently on leave; which prosecutor’s office he works for has not been disclosed. The street where the accidents occurred is near the Plzeň-město District Court.
