German police cite drunk and drug‑impaired e‑scooter riders in Baden‑Württemberg

In Leutkirch im Allgäu, a 16‑year‑old was stopped on an e‑scooter at about 01:15 a.m. after a police patrol detected intoxication. A breath test showed a blood‑alcohol level of over 1.4 ‰, and the teenager was taken to a clinic for a blood sample before being handed over to his parents. He now faces a charge for drunken driving.

In the Bodenseekreis, police in Friedrichshafen stopped a 32‑year‑old e‑scooter rider who displayed clear signs of drug use. After refusing an on‑site test, he was taken to a hospital for a blood sample and was prohibited from riding pending the results. An administrative offence procedure has been opened.

The Bodenseekreis report also noted unrelated incidents that week, including a trash‑bin fire in Friedrichshafen, a broken shop window in Langenargen, and a minor collision between a child cyclist and a motorcyclist in Überlingen.
