Man found slumped over steering wheel arrested in Coalisland

POLICE have praised a member of the public who helped catch a drunk-driver in Coalisland.

The person contacted the PSNI over the weekend.

“After noticing a male slumped over the steering wheel of a car, they did the right thing and contacted police immediately,” said a police spokesperson.

“Officers attended the scene and one male was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving with excess alcohol.

“This is a great example of the community looking out for one another. Drink driving puts lives at risk — not just the driver’s, but passengers, pedestrians and other road users too.”
