As goalkeeper for the German national team, Jens Lehmann kept the “box” as clean as possible for years, but in his private life the 54-year-old always has his hands dirty, as they say in Bavaria. The most recent example: On Monday night, Lehmann was stopped by the police “due to conspicuous driving behavior” after a visit to the Oktoberfest. He is now facing an investigation for drunk driving.
Public prosecutor Juliane Grotz reports that “Mr. Lehmann” was subjected to a police check at around 1:30 a.m. in downtown Munich. The officers noticed a “distinct smell of alcohol and an unsteady gait.” It could also be assumed that Jens Lehmann was so drunk that he could no longer blow into the tube.

The devil’s wheel has long had cult status at the Oktoberfest. But there are videos on the internet that have been viewed millions of times in which women have been filmed up their skirts. Why is no one stopping this?
At least the public prosecutor’s office says that a breathalyzer test did not produce any usable results. “As a result, a blood sample was taken and the driver’s license was confiscated,” says public prosecutor Grotz. The result of the blood alcohol test is still pending. As the Picture reported, Lehmann is said to have been on the Celebrated Oktoberfest and drank a few beers. It seems that not everyone is aware that there are more alcohol checks by the police during the Oktoberfest.
The fact that Jens Lehmann has had problems with the justice system is nothing new. He has already been prosecuted for rude behavior in traffic, insults, using his cell phone while driving, or for sneaking through the barrier in the airport parking garage without paying. And because the former professional used a chainsaw to cut through a roof beam in his neighbor’s garage in order to get a better view of Lake Starnberg.
The Starnberg District Court therefore sentenced the former goalkeeper to 210 daily rates of 2,000 euros each, or 420,000 euros, for property damage, insult and attempted fraud. Lehmann and the public prosecutor’s office appealed against the verdict – so Lehmann will be tried again next Friday, this time before the Munich II Regional Court.
