(Central News Agency reporter Huang Liyun, Taipei 11th) Taipei City police recently discovered a male motorcyclist surnamed Zhang driving the wrong way in Zhongzheng District. During a stop, they found him acting nervous and abnormal. Subsequently, they seized illegal e-cigarette cartridges and a packet of K他命 (Ketamine) from him. A rapid saliva drug test showed a positive reaction, implicating him in drug-impaired driving. The case was transferred to the prosecutor's office according to law.
The Zhongzheng Second Precinct of the Taipei City Police Department issued a press release today (11th) stating that patrol officer Zhan Peiyao from its Nanhai Road Police Station, while on patrol duty on the evening of the 7th, spotted a motorcycle driving the wrong way in an alley on Section 2, Zhonghua Road, and immediately stopped it for inspection.
During the stop, the 30-something Mr. Zhang, a blue-collar worker, appeared nervous and evasive. With his consent, officers searched his belongings and immediately seized multiple e-cigarette cartridges containing etomidate and one packet of K他命 (Ketamine).
The police lawfully brought Mr. Zhang back to the station for investigation. A rapid saliva drug test showed positive reactions for both amphetamine and etomidate, indicating he had driven after using drugs, seriously endangering traffic safety and the lives and property of other road users.
According to sources, Mr. Zhang, who has multiple drug-related criminal records, claimed the drugs were a free gift from a friend in Wanhua District and were for his personal use only.
After questioning, police transferred Mr. Zhang to the Taipei District Prosecutors Office on charges of violating the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act and Public Danger, and will continue to trace the source of the drugs and related supply channels. (Editor: Zhang Mingkun) 1150611
