Drunk Driver Arrested in Kaohsiung with 146 Packets of 'Minions' Drug Coffee

A 26-year-old man in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, is facing serious charges after driving under the influence and causing a traffic accident. The incident occurred when the man, identified by the surname Sun, was driving his car against traffic on Qingfeng 3rd Road in the Nanzi District. His vehicle collided with a parked car, fortunately resulting in no injuries. However, responding police officers noted Sun's disoriented state. A drug test revealed he had tested positive for methylcathione, a new second-class stimulant, and ketamine, a third-class drug. During a search of his vehicle, authorities discovered a significant quantity of illegal substances: 146 packets of "Minions"-themed coffee, which contained new stimulants. The estimated street value of the confiscated drugs is over NT$70,000 (approximately $2,200 USD). The police have transferred Sun to the Qiaotou District Prosecutor's Office, where he will be prosecuted for violating the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act and for endangering public safety. The Nanzi Precinct Police Division issued a warning, highlighting that illicit drug dealers often use cute packaging, like the "Minions" characters, to lower people's guard. They urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately by calling 110, assuring continued efforts to combat drug trafficking and maintain public safety.
