Drivers on Drugs in the District of Lilienfeld Traveling Too Fast

A drug driver measured at excessive speed on Sunday in Traisen (district of Lilienfeld) fled from the police. The 33-year-old was eventually stopped as a pedestrian in Eschenau. Since a medical examination for drugs was positive, the man temporarily lost his driver's license. At the residential address in St. Pölten, officers discovered marijuana and an indoor setup with cannabis plants, according to reports on Monday. Charges are the result.

33-Year-Old Did Not Stop

The car driver was caught around 2:00 PM during speed checks along the B20 but did not stop. A search was initially unsuccessful. Shortly before 3:30 PM, a man was stopped and checked on foot in Eschenau. It turned out to be the fleeing driver.

Cannabis Plants Found

During a voluntary inspection at his residential address, 13 grams of marijuana and a setup with eight fully blooming cannabis plants were secured, reported the police in a release. The 33-year-old will be reported for administrative offenses to the district authority of Lilienfeld and under the Narcotic Substances Act to the public prosecutor's office in St. Pölten.
