Man charged after riding scooter while high on drugs in Michelstadt

A 25-year-old man in Michelstadt has been charged after police stopped him riding a scooter while under the influence of drugs. The incident took place on January 28. The man was pulled over after officers suspected he was impaired. A preliminary drug test returned positive results for both cannabis and cocaine. As a result, he was taken for a mandatory blood test to confirm the findings. No wider statistics on similar cases across Hesse in the past year are currently available. This remains the only documented incident of its kind in Michelstadt during that period. Authorities have now formally charged the rider with operating a vehicle while impaired by drugs. The case will proceed through the criminal justice system. The charges stem from a single confirmed incident involving drug use while riding a scooter. Legal proceedings will determine the outcome of the case. No further details on additional offences in the region have been released.
