On March 11, at approximately 4:27 AM in Vilnius, officers stopped a BMW 5 series driven by a junior specialist from the Public Security Service, who was off-duty and out of uniform. The officer, born in 2002, was found to be intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of 0.77 promille following a sobriety check. An administrative violation report was filed against him due to this infraction.

The laws governing administrative offenses in Lithuania specify penalties for driving under the influence, indicating that operating a vehicle while intoxicated—defined as having a blood alcohol concentration between 0.41 and 1.5 promille—can result in fines between 800 and 1,100 euros. The incident raises concerns regarding public safety and the responsibilities of law enforcement officials, emphasizing the serious nature of driving while impaired.

This incident is particularly alarming as it involves a member of the law enforcement community, which is expected to uphold public safety standards. The situation may prompt a review of internal policies related to law enforcement conduct off-duty and could lead to discussions about stricter controls and accountability measures within the Public Security Service to ensure such incidents do not recur.
