Anyone who saw him as he skidded through the streets of Arbus on a bicycle warned the carabinieri. He represented a danger not only to himself but also to other road users.

The military tracked down the cyclist, he was lying on the ground probably after a fall. He was not very lucid, with winey breath, and the colleagues from the Radiomobile of Villacidro, equipped with a breathalyzer, were called in to intervene.

Half an hour later, the 37-year-old appeared positive on the alcohol test with a rate of 2.25 grams per litre, well over 4 times the maximum permitted limit. During the check he refused to give any indication of his identity. He was charged for this and for driving while intoxicated.
