Gates of heavenThe federal police presumably saved a fare dodger with 2.8 per thousand in blood from freezing. As the police announced, the Czech arrived on Monday at 10 p.m. without a ticket in a regional express in Cuxhaven. “Because of the low temperatures, she threatened to freeze to death if she was released early in the city,” said a police spokesman. The 45-year-old was then taken into custody.
A judge had confirmed the measure, and a doctor called in had also determined that the woman was capable of custody, the police continued. In the night shift, in the early shift as well as in the late shift of the guard, “a federal police officer was on duty”. The officers supervised the heavily drunk woman with the door of the detention room open and monitored her breathing.
When the high alcohol level had dropped to 1.4 per mille at 1.30 p.m. and the police in Himmelpforten had confirmed a contact point in the Stade district, the police took the lady to the train station and put her on the right train.
