A driver was stopped in Českobrodská Street in Prague on Monday before three in the morning for using the phone behind the wheel. During the inspection, it turned out that the 36-year-old man appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He tested negative for alcohol, but refused to take drugs. Before that, however, he admitted to the officers that he smoked marijuana.

“Two other men were traveling in the car with the man. One of them matched the description of the wanted person, so the patrol asked him to prove his identity. The passenger stated that he did not have documents, but he cooperated with the patrol,” said police spokeswoman Irena Seifertová.
But a completely different man was looking at him from the database, where the constable checked the information dictated by him. Even so, the person kept trying to convince him that it was him. When the officer asked if he had dyed his hair and had a freckle tattooed on his face, he ran out of arguments.

“He started running after the patrol asked him to get out. One of the officers ran after him, and after she threatened to use a weapon, she stopped,” added Seifertová.
A forty-one-year-old man was impersonating his brother, and he had a good reason for it. He escaped from an unguarded workplace in Velvary in the Kladno region.
