– During this arrest, another person who has nothing to do with this case came and began to utter violent abuse against the police. The insults were deemed too violent, so the person was also arrested and charged, says Aputsiaq Hansen.
Two cases created
Aputsiaq Hansen states that the driver was also arrested, where blood samples were taken to confirm the high blood alcohol level. The motorist can expect a legal aftermath based on the case.
