31-year-old resident of Usman district sentenced to 240 hours of compulsory work for repeated driving while intoxicated
A 31-year-old resident of the Usman district was sentenced to 240 hours of compulsory work for repeated driving while intoxicated. The man was also deprived of the right to engage in activities related to transport management for 2.5 years, and his VAZ-210540 was confiscated into the state income.
As reported in the joint press service of the judicial system of the Lipetsk region, in July 2026, the man sat behind the wheel, although he knew that he had previously been brought to administrative responsibility for drunk driving and had no right to drive.
In court, a local resident said that together with his wife and younger brother went to buy a car, which he found on the ad. After handing over the keys and documents, he went to get the money, but on the way stopped at the side of the road and drank a beer, deciding to mark the purchase. He was soon stopped by police officers. The examination confirmed alcohol intoxication.
The man pleaded guilty and repented. The court also found that the car came into his ownership after handing over keys and documents, so ordered the car to be confiscated in favor of the state.
