A repeatedly convicted resident of the Buturlin district was sent to a general regime colony for operating a motor block while intoxicated.

      The inter-district court of the Nizhny Novgorod region (permanent judicial presence in the rural settlement of Buturlino) examined a criminal case against S., accused of committing a crime under part 2 of article 264.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - operating another mechanical vehicle by a person in a state of intoxication who has a criminal record for committing a crime while intoxicated, as provided for in article 264.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

      The court established that the defendant S. has a criminal record based on the verdict of the Buturlin district court of the Nizhny Novgorod region dated November 12, 2021, for committing a crime under part 1 of article 264.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, based on the verdict of the Perevoz district court of the Nizhny Novgorod region dated December 7, 2021, for committing a crime under part 1 of article 264.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and based on the verdict of the Bolshimurashkin district court of the Nizhny Novgorod region dated February 17, 2022, for committing a crime under part 2 of article 264.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Based on the cumulative sentences, S. was ultimately sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 1 year and 6 months, with deprivation of the right to engage in activities related to the operation of vehicles for a period of 4 years, to be served in a settlement colony. S. was released from places of imprisonment after serving the sentence of imprisonment; the additional punishment of deprivation of the right to engage in activities related to the operation of vehicles was not served by the defendant. Despite this, disregarding the previously issued sentences, S. in October 2025, while intoxicated, got behind the wheel of a motor block and began to move along the streets of the village of Bolshie Bakaldy, where he was stopped by officers of the traffic police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia "Knyagininsky." Due to the detection of signs of alcohol intoxication in driver S., he was removed from operating the motor block. As a result of the examination, it was established that the defendant had an absolute ethyl alcohol content in the exhaled air of 0.345 mg/l.

      During the court session, the defendant S. fully admitted his guilt but refused to testify, exercising his right under article 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

      The court, taking into account all the circumstances of the case, the nature and degree of public danger of the crime committed by the defendant S., the state of health of the defendant, and the presence of mitigating and aggravating circumstances, found S. guilty of committing a crime under part 2 of article 264.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and imposed a final sentence of imprisonment for a term of 1 year to be served in a general regime colony. In addition, S. was deprived of the right to engage in activities related to the operation of vehicles for a period of 3 years. The convicted S. was taken into custody in the courtroom.

      The court's verdict has not entered into legal force.
