Drunk South African police officer arrested after stealing police car

South Africa: A drunk South African policeman has been arrested for allegedly stealing a police car. 

The North West Police officer who was arrested on charges of drinking and driving and using a state car without authorisation, was captured in a video hitting a pole and struggling to get out of the car, seemingly because he was highly intoxicated.

He struggled to stand steady and he had a slurred speech when residents stopped him and showed him that he had crushed into someone’s yard.

The policeman who was in full police uniform at that time, was seen holding a plastic bag full of what’s presumed to be booze in it. The police were called in after the incident and the policeman was arrested.
