Police arrest two men for alcohol-related driving offenses in Fukuoka

Two separate incidents of alcohol-related driving have led to arrests in Fukuoka Prefecture.

In Kama City, a 79-year-old unemployed man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Police observed the man acting suspiciously in a light vehicle before conducting a breathalyzer test, which revealed alcohol levels exceeding the legal limit. The suspect reportedly claimed he had finished drinking shochu before midnight and believed no alcohol remained in his system.

In Jonan Ward, Fukuoka City, a man was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated on a bicycle. The individual reportedly denied the charges, claiming he was merely ‘staggering’ while riding.
