Drunk driving: Father and son flee from police in Munich!

Drunk driving: Father and son flee from police in Munich!

In the early hours of June 9, 2025, at 1:30 a.m. to be precise, the Munich police were called to a dangerous traffic offense in Bogenhausen. A patrol observed an Audi whose driver was driving unsafely and suddenly changed lanes. There was almost a collision with the police vehicle. Despite multiple stop signals, the 31-year-old, who comes from Baden-Württemberg, continued his dangerous journey at excessive speed and ignored red lights at least three times. Eventually the driver was temporarily arrested, but physically resisted the officers. The strong odor of alcohol on him led to a blood test being ordered and his driver's license was confiscated. His six-year-old son sat in the passenger seat throughout the interview and was later placed in the care of relatives while the vehicle was towed away, as polizei.bayern.de reports.

People who think they can safely get into the car in the morning after a party should also be aware of how dangerous drunk driving is. The legal consequences of such a trip can be serious: According to Section 316 of the Criminal Code, driving a vehicle while intoxicated is punishable by a fine or imprisonment. From a blood alcohol level of 1.1, you are legally absolutely unfit to drive, and a concentration of 0.3 to 1.09 per mille can result in an administrative offense. anwalt.de emphasizes that even insightful road users often underestimate the impending consequences and that drunk driving entails not only criminal law risks, but also insurance law risks.

Traffic accidents throughout Munich

However, the incident in Bogenhausen is not the only traffic offense that has affected Munich in recent days. On June 8th, a 19-year-old from Munich was arrested under the influence of cannabis during a traffic stop in Allach. Here too, a blood sample was taken and further travel was stopped. Confusion arose on June 10th when the young man came to the police station again, this time also under the influence of cannabis. On this occasion, his vehicle keys were confiscated again. Such incidents make it clear that illegal substances while driving can also have serious consequences.

On this day, the Munich traffic police were still challenged: A reversing accident in Altstadt-Lehel ended with minor injuries for an almost two-year-old toddler who was hit by a 59-year-old's vehicle. And in Moosach there was a more serious incident when a 69-year-old disregarded the right of way and collided with an 85-year-old cyclist, who then had to be taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Robbery and fraud

The police didn't just have their hands full in the area of ​​road traffic. A robbery in Sendling's Westpark occurred on June 10th when a 22-year-old was attacked on his bicycle by unknown perpetrators. The victim's backpack containing valuable electronic devices and cash was stolen. Fortunately, the 22-year-old only suffered minor injuries and did not require emergency services.

The police also reported two cases of call center fraud. In Pasing, a 68-year-old was also contacted by a fraudster who posed as a police officer and demanded a five-figure deposit. A 16-year-old was arrested as a bail collector. In Ramersdorf, a woman over 80 was contacted by a supposed hospital employee who demanded a horrendous six-figure sum for treatment in Switzerland. The police also had to check the suspected perpetrators.

Such incidents show that caution is also very important in everyday life, be it in traffic or when dealing with possible fraudsters. Through its security measures and the commitment of the police, Munich remains a city where citizens can be confident in their safety, even after they are confronted with serious traffic offenses and attempted fraud.
