New York, NY - Diplomat Stopped For Drunk Driving

New York, NY - A Moroccan diplomat, 37-year-old Abdelmajid Amrani Nadjar, was weaving through heavy Manhattan traffic and was briefly detained and issued four summonses, including one summons for driving drunk.

Police said Nadjar, behind the wheel of a silver Honda Civic with diplomatic plates, was weaving in and out of First Avenue traffic at East 46th Street without signaling when he was stopped by a patrol car and given a field sobriety test, which he failed.

Nadjar, a deputy secretary to the United Nations Mission to Morocco, was briefly taken to the 17th Precinct stationhouse, where police found that his immunity protects him from arrest. Still, diplomats are subject to traffic tickets.

Nadjar was given three: for driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and failing to use lane-change signals, officials said.
