On July 2, the man drove his moped to the Higashi Police Station, where officers noticed the smell of alcohol on his breath. A breathalyzer test revealed his blood alcohol content was nearly three times the legal limit. He had been called to the station for an inquiry into a DUI incident from June 22. Despite the overwhelming evidence, including the breathalyzer results, he denied the charges, stating, &#8220;I was not driving under the influence.&#8221; The police proceeded with the arrest due to the clear signs of intoxication. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.tnc.co.jp\/news\/articles\/NID2024070321722\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TNC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fnn_man-on-bike-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"70-Year-Old Man Arrested for DUI While Reporting to Police\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-164225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fnn_man-on-bike-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fnn_man-on-bike-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fnn_man-on-bike-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fnn_man-on-bike-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo from Photo AC <\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
