Drink driver shouted at police in Polish when
pulled over in Yeovil
[…] When police
pulled over a suspected drink drive and tried to talk to him he responded by
shouting at them in Polish.
Janusz Jozefczyk
continued to be abusive and when asked to take a breath test at the police
station continued with the same behaviour.
When the police
asked an interpreter what the defendant was saying they refused to translate
them saying they were swear words and did not want to repeat them.
[…]
“It pulled into
a car par in South Street and when the officers spoke to the defendant he smelt
of alcohol and began to shout at them in Polish,” she said.
“He was arrested
and taken to Yeovil police station where a breath test was started using an
interpreter via the telephone Language Line system.”
As a result of
his behaviour the defendant did not provide a satisfactory breath sample and
was charged with the offence.
Speaking via an
interpreter in court, the defendant said he just panicked at the time and did
not understand what was going on. […]
