Wednesday April 7, at the end of the morning, a motorist parked at Place de la République, in Thionville, struggles to find the exit from the parking lot.

More than 1 g of alcohol in the blood
The agents alert their colleagues from the national police and go to the scene. There, they discover a particularly tipsy 61-year-old Thionvillois. Checks made, the motorist in question cumulates the infractions. His driver’s license was canceled; the car in which he is traveling is declared stolen; and, to conclude, he has a blood alcohol level of 0.55 mg per liter of exhaled air (ie, in colloquial terms, more than 1 g of alcohol in the blood).
