A local man banned from driving was arrested for disobedience after making an illegal U-turn, Public Security Police (PSP) spokeswoman Lai In Hong said at a regular press conference yesterday.
The suspect surnamed Chan is in his forties.
According to Lai, on Thursday at around 3 p.m. a police officer on patrol at Calçada das Chácaras sawChan making an illegal U-turn. The officer promptly intercepted him and requested Chan’s licence and documents. Chan claimed that he had left the documents at home, and he was taken to a police station for follow-up.
Upon checking the records, the officer found that Chan had been prohibited from driving for six months due to injuring someone in a traffic accident last month.
Chan has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), facing an aggravated disobedience charge, Lai said.
