Penal - Rol N° O-174-2021

This document details a court case involving Manuel Enrique Pino Vargas, accused of driving under the influence and possession of drugs. The case was heard by the Tribunal de Juicio Oral en Lo Penal de San Fernando. The defendant was apprehended with signs of intoxication and a BAC of 2.25 g/L, and small bags containing a substance testing positive for base cocaine were found.
