    Well-known actor arrested while driving under the influence of drugs

    The Polish Press Agency has learned unofficially that the police controlled the car driven by well-known actor Antoni K. After a narcotest had been performed, it turned out that the 34-year-old was under the influence of drugs.

    Today at around 4:40 pm at Kolejowa Street in Warsaw’s Wola district, a traffic patrol stopped an Audi vehicle.

    “The driver was tested for alcohol. He was sober. However, a narcotest showed that he was under the influence of intoxicants,” Bartłomiej Śniadała of the Warsaw Police Headquarters reported on Saturday.

    The police are not revealing his identity, but – as the Polish Press Agency (PAP) has unofficially learned – he is a well-known actor Antoni K.

    Wirtualna Polska reported that the man had been detained and taken to the Warsaw IV Regional Police Station. Antoni K. was supposed to celebrate his 34th birthday in one of the clubs.

    UPDATE

    “I would like to point out that I am not using drugs, as shown by today’s tests, so I would very much like to ask you to stop the slander,” wrote Antoni Królikowski in a statement published on his profile on Instagram.

    As he added, “officers, due to a report received that I would appear allegedly under the influence of illegal substances at this time in this location, were waiting for me near my residence. I was stopped for control, the alcohol test showed that I was sober, however, the narco-test detected THC, with which I support my treatment and which I had used the previous evening,”

    As Antoni Królikowski stressed, “moreover, I did not celebrate my birthday in any Warsaw club this year”.
