Because he drove drunk twice within three months, a Lenggrieser was sentenced to a fine of 1400 euros.
Lenggries/Wolfratshausen – A Lenggrieser with significantly too much alcohol in his blood is said to have taken part in road traffic twice within three months. The public prosecutor accuses the 25-year-old of driving a wheel loader on June 11, 2022 with a blood alcohol content of 2.44. It must have been one or two more beers on September 7th last year when he fell with his pedelec with a blood alcohol content of 2.71.
Lenggrieser took part in road traffic with significantly too much alcohol in his blood
Because of the two incidents, two penal orders were issued against the 25-year-old. On the other hand, he lodged an objection, which is why it came to a hearing at the district court in Wolfratshausen. In the first case, the fine was too high and it was difficult to prove the accident with the e-bike to his client, lawyer Jost Hartman-Hilter explained his efforts, which were ultimately successful: With regard to the pedelec ride, “prosecution was refrained from since a punishment does not carry much weight”, as the judge dictated in the record.

Crashed with a pedelec after drinking a case of beer with a friend
He was sitting on the Isar, with a friend and a crate of beer, “which afterwards only consisted of empty bottles,” the lawyer said about the bike tour, fragments from his client’s memory. Afterwards, he is said to have been seen in an inn. “He doesn’t know how he got from the banks of the Isar to the place where he fell.” How he broke his nose, scraped his right shoulder and lacerated his forehead, which had to be sewn up with three stitches not be determined. There were no eyewitnesses. “The injuries look like a rollover, as if he had flown over the handlebars,” explained an expert who did not want to rule out “a significantly reduced ability to control” the accused in this case.
Drunk drove off with a wheel loader – mother informed the police
The doctor also admitted that the accused had an “acute intoxication” (including a reduced ability to control which cannot be ruled out) for driving the wheel loader. That day, Hartman-Hilter explained, his client spent the day cleaning up the leftovers from a party while drinking six or seven beers. Then there was an argument at home, which is why he took the wheel loader and drove away through the meadow – and probably a bit on the road too. At least that was the assumption of the police officer, who had been informed by the defendant’s worried mother that her son had driven away drunk.
Accused wants to start inpatient therapy
The defendant asserted in court that he had not drunk any alcohol since the bike accident in September, after which he went to a clinic for detoxification. He will also start inpatient therapy in March. This “positive night offense behavior” had a mitigating effect on the sentence. Judge Helmut Berger sentenced the trainee to 55 daily rates (the public prosecutor had requested 60) of 25 euros each for negligent drunk driving, a total of 1375 euros, as well as a six-month driver’s license suspension (13 months in total).
