Simferopol district court found a 44-year-old local resident guilty of re-driving transport in a state of intoxication and using violence against a representative of the authorities
The Simferopol district court found a 44-year-old local resident guilty of re-driving transport while intoxicated and using violence against a government official. This was reported in the press service of the Prosecutor’s office of Crimea.
According to the investigation, in April 2026, the defendant, being brought to administrative responsibility for driving while intoxicated and not having the right to drive, again began to drive a moped. He was stopped by traffic police.
The driver revealed signs of intoxication and offered to undergo an examination. The man refused, expressing the threat of violence against law enforcement officers. The police arrested the intruder.
The court found him guilty under part 1 of Article 264.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - driving a car by a person in a state of intoxication, subjected to administrative punishment and part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - the use of violence against a representative of the authorities.
The punishment is 200 hours of compulsory work with a fine of 35 thousand rubles. A man is deprived of the right to engage in activities related to driving vehicles for two years. The Racer moped used in the crime was confiscated to the state.
The practice of confiscation of transport from drunk drivers in Crimea has already been used. In February 2026, a resident of Nizhnegorsk district, previously convicted of a similar crime, got behind the wheel of a Racer moped and drove to the store. The court sentenced him to six months in prison in a colony-settlement with deprivation of rights for 2.5 years, and the moped confiscated to the state.
In November 2026, a resident of Sevastopol, being in a state of alcoholic intoxication, staged a row on the embankment of Admiral Pereleshin and caused bodily injuries to police officers. The Leninsky District Court fined her 40,000 rubles.
In addition, in November 2026 in the Pervomaisky district of the Crimea, a 30-year-old local resident, deprived of his rights and previously punished for drunken driving, tried to escape from the traffic police on the VAZ-21074. A criminal case was opened against him, and a protocol was drawn up for driving during the period of deprivation of rights.
