A drunk man threatened to burn down a house in the Vilnius district

A intoxicated man in Lithuania was arrested for threatening to burn down a house.

An incident occurred in Santakų village, Vilnius district, where a heavily intoxicated man threatened to burn down a house. The man, born in 1977, was found with a blood alcohol content of 2.28 and was subsequently arrested by local police. This alarming threat raised significant concerns about public safety and led to his detention in a police station.

In response to his actions, the Police Department has initiated a pre-trial investigation into the man's threats to kill or severely harm another individual, or for acts of terrorism against a person. Such serious allegations highlight the potential risks posed by intoxicated individuals and their capacity for harmful behavior, particularly in residential areas where threats to life and property can have serious implications for community safety.

According to the law, those who threaten an individual through dangerous actions—such as arson or using psychological duress—are subject to strict penalties, which may include imprisonment for up to four years. This legal framework underscores the serious nature of the incident and the determination of Lithuanian authorities to maintain public security and prevent similar occurrences by addressing such threatening behaviors promptly and effectively.
