Drugged Driver Falls Asleep Outside Police Station, Arrested

A man driving under the influence of methamphetamine was arrested after falling asleep at the wheel of his car directly in front of the Yujing Police Station in Tainan, Taiwan. The incident occurred early on the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

Witnesses initially mistook the stationary vehicle for someone waiting for the local market to open for mango purchases. However, concern grew when it became apparent the driver was asleep at the wheel. Police were alerted and found the 45-year-old man, identified by his surname Lin, disoriented and with dilated pupils.

Officers discovered methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in the car. A preliminary saliva test indicated a positive result for drug use. Lin faces charges for violating the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act and endangering public safety. The incident occurred as the Yujing wholesale fruit market was preparing to open for the holiday, a time when vendors typically arrive before dawn to secure good positions for selling mangoes.
