A man who was arrested for walking down the railway line in Langley Mill and causing a short stoppage to services has been released under investigation for officers to carry out further inquiries.
When police apprehended the man yesterday afternoon he was described by a Nottinghamshire British Transport Police spokesperson as "so intoxicated, he blew over a 130 on a handheld device".
That statement referred to 130 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath which, to put it in perspective, is almost four times over the legal driving limit, which is 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.
Officers allowed him to sober up before considering what action to take and, in a 3.43am post during the early hours of this morning on the official BTP Nottinghamshire Twitter account @BTPNotts, it was announced that he was no longer in custody and had been provided with advice and different support networks to help with alcohol dependency.
The post read: "The male has been released under investigation for officers to carry out further enquiries. We have provided him with advice and different support networks, to help with alcohol dependency. #safeguarding #notjustcrime #rehabilitation."
