A 28-year-old chap, smelling of booze and showing signs of drug use, flip-flopped his vehicle in Coesfeld district's Dülmen town on a Christmas Eve night. The incident left his car upside down in a ditch. Sustaining minor injuries from the mishap, the driver sought refuge in a cab to reach home. However, his generosity towards the cabbie ended there.
He vanished without coughing up the fare. Fear not, the police had a whiff of his shenanigans. A tip-off from the alert cabbie, who had shared the details of the man's accident during the ride, led the authorities to zero in on the suspect. The guy now stands accused of two counts: one for reckless drunken driving and the other for ditching the cab fare.
