Despite the threatening situation, the two men went back to their apartments after the argument without injuring it. The 43-year-old was finally temporarily arrested in his first incident. In his apartment, the police found the crowd, while the man himself came up with a blood alcohol content of 1.2 per thousand and a positive drug test, as was the Franconian day reported in detail.
