On reaching a section of the road, Inspector Osei stated that he spotted Emmanuel from afar driving recklessly and suspected him to be drunk suddenly he bumped into an unregistered Nissan Juke and sped off.
The MTTD officer said he chased the suspect and arrested him and noted the suspect was drunk and therefore decided to check his breath with the Breathalyzer at the GoldFields Security checkpoint at Tarkwa.
When the suspect’s breath was checked, it recorded 100 per cent instead of 0.08 and was re-arrested and processed to appear before a court, he added.
