The Dragoon event is reminiscent of another conflict
A citizen whose name is known to the newsroom assures that although the incident occurred back in the winter of 2018, he cannot forget this confrontation with the police until now. Not only the remaining unpleasant memories allegedly raised by the E. Dragūnas situation, but also the ongoing court proceedings do not allow us to dive into the past.
Wednesday Delphi After contacting E. Dragūnas, he said that as soon as he left the detention center, he received endless messages with stories and videos, where the aggressive behavior of the policemen who detained him was recorded. Messages and images of said content were received from readers and Delphi.
It is known that the famous interpreter was apprehended by the popular Instagram, about 30 thousand. Vitalijus Vaitkevič, who has a following, and Livijus Saukevičius, who is gaining popularity there, have almost 7,000 members on social media. followers.
Immediately after the conflict between the famous singer and the officials already easily recognizable in public, Delphi The aforementioned man submitted a request, who said that his encounter with the police officer V. Vaitkevič sounds almost like E. Dragūnas. An interlocutor who was driving a luxury Lexus stated that he had been abused while passing a police car. Another reason, according to him, may be that V. Vaitkevič was known before – both were from Ignalina, in addition, there had already been a conflict between them.
“I was driving quietly, everything was fine, I just passed the officers’ car. Maybe I was speeding a bit. And that officer knew me from before, we are both from Ignalina. Also, he had already arrested me, and since I realized that he had wrongly accused me, we had a little chat for the first time.
The second time I left town with my respectable mother, she caught up with me again, stopped me, and told me to drive without a seatbelt, but since I was wearing it, I began to deny it.
Then he asked me to provide him with the documents. I say: “Officer, can you tell me how long I have to present the documents? I drive from the field, my car is big and those documents are rolling somewhere. “He immediately told me in a severe tone:” Report immediately or I will start the violence. “I tell him:” Close the door and I will hand you over, do not run towards the car. “Again he threatened to start raping. And then he started,” the man said.
To support his story, the citizen also shared a video. Filming the conflict rushed both the driver and the officials. The incident was also filmed by cameras attached to a police car.
“He saw that I was filming the whole event, he grabbed the phone and tried to break it. Then she started to climb out the window, broke into the car, doused me with gasoline, and at the same time my mother got them. I was very nervous … I dropped my mother’s cell phone and asked her to go home. Then the officer told his partner: “Hold the woman, she is trying to get out with the phone.”
Then I used an electric shock in front of me, took it out of the machine, placed it on the asphalt, pressed my head with one eye on the ball and held it for about three minutes until the booster arrived. That booster shook my entire machine. He found documents that he had not given him. Then they took me to the police station.
In short, I barely won a criminal case for allegedly hitting an official. However, his accusation was rejected by the prosecutor because no one saw him. I didn’t use bad words or what. I was just attacked by a police officer.
Thus, although the prosecutor dismissed the case, Vaitkevič himself somehow received more than a thousand euros from the police station for injuries allegedly caused during his work. And that wound is a red hand. That hand flushed from the struggle he himself mimicked attacking me. He received compensation for this from the police station, and now the commission is looking for this money from me. Supposedly I hurt him.
Also, since I was accused of driving without a belt, I asked for videos to record it, after all, everything is being filmed. The Commissioner told me that “there are no records, there is no conservation.”
A trial has already been conducted. However, as it happened in my favor, the police commission appealed this decision before the highest instance, “he told the Delphi the man who applied.
The interlocutor added that the aforementioned conflict took place in Vilnius two years ago, but the Selo scandal this week reminded him of what he himself had to experience.
“When I saw that video of policemen breaking into Egidijus’ car, I immediately realized that absolutely similar actions had been used,” he assured him.
In the footage: an event from all sides
Delphi the reader supplemented his narrative with archival material. In total, the man released five videos showing February 19, 2018 images not only from the driver’s perspective, but also from what the officers saw and what was visible from the police car.
The first seconds of the record show how the officer demands the documents, the driver is in no rush to do so and asks what the infraction is. The surprise of the seated passenger is heard nearby. “What’s going on?” He exclaimed when the policeman’s hands met in the cabin.
Then the action is also filmed from the officer’s perspective. The video shows the seated passenger fastened with a seat belt and continues to lead the dispute. The official explains on several occasions that if the requirements are not met, tougher measures will be taken: coercion will be used and the driver will be arrested.
On the side is heard a reply from the passenger: “Oh Lord, I don’t know anything if the police are here.”
The policeman continues to demand documents from the driver, but after a few minutes of fruitless dialogue, the officer calls for reinforcements and snatches the driver, the video stops.
The rear video camera of the patrol car shows how the officers forcibly disembark the driver, another crew arrives, the citizen is taken to the police station.
V. Vaitkevič and his colleague return to the official car, confused in a few words because the driver got into trouble “on equal terms”.
He also published a document containing an order for compensation.
Mentioned man Delphi also sent on February 19, 2019. (date of the event) Vilnius County Chief a written order by the authorities of the Police Commissariat on the payment of compensation to V. Vaitkevič. The document refers to the close contact experienced during the service.
The order decided to award official compensation in the amount of one month’s average salary.
V. Vaitkevič declines to comment
Delphi V. Vaitkevič contacted the aforementioned official, but the interlocutor refrained from making extensive comments on the E. Dragūnas issue as well, regarding this particular situation. The police officer said the communications department would answer all necessary questions.
The official in question has already been in a whirlwind of events involving famous people during his service. V. Vaitkevič has arrested not only E. Dragūnas, but also a drunken Regina Jokubauskaitė, and has arrested Paulius Aršauskas on the road.

Police colleagues: more talkative
Ramūnas Matonis, Chief of the Police Department’s Communications Division, has been there before Delphi confirmed that a state benefit is paid to officials who have suffered injuries on the job.
“If there is an injury while on duty, you can receive compensation. Its size depends on the level of the injury: the injury can be minor, severe and can result in inability to work. The greater the injury, the greater the benefit. Also If there are certain injuries that prevent the officer from working, a certificate of disability is issued, ”explained R. Matonis.
When asked if the conduct of V. Vaitkevič during the service had ever been investigated, a police spokesman could not respond.
Delphi Regarding this specific situation of an unidentified citizen, he also contacted Vilnius County. Representatives of the LSC to the media, but for the moment a more detailed comment on this issue is expected.
Mr. Dragūnas has an opinion on the official in question
Officials, including V. Vaitkevič, who arrested E. Dragūnas on Tuesday, were also, according to the artist, not polite.
“I do not relate to all policemen in general and that is not my approach to all policemen. This is not a matter of principle. There are people who do their job normally and this is a very important profession.
Yesterday, as soon as I picked up the phone, I received a lot of all kinds of information about that person. I won’t lie, there are around 300 written messages. He may not explain it to me here, but he says he’s arrogant. There is a video where he sprays gas in the eyes of a teenager. She’s such a casual person here that she doesn’t have to work in such structures.
I saw their behavior. He came without a mask, even though he had to wear it. She said she didn’t need it at all. She then accused me of using the phone even though I didn’t use it at all. I held it in my hands and maybe there was some button pressed there. But here’s the little thing, just the details.
The man simply behaved in an inappropriate and provocative manner. My position is as follows: I don’t know what I can do for better or for worse, but that person doesn’t have to work for the police. And that’s certainly not my general approach with the police. There are many incredible people who work out of a vocation rather than an idea. I wouldn’t want to shake that man in a common bucket. But it doesn’t have to work. I say that yesterday I saw a lot of messages. There are also articles. And not just about him, but about his colleague.
<...> These people are probably young and uneducated for the job. They can go somewhere to play sports, run, but not that … If a person can access (the driver) without a mask. These are officials for whom laws have been passed. They initiate those laws themselves. They are an example. If he comes over and says with complete indifference that “he does not need it”, and then he looks for something to hold on to and he conflicts … Here is the characteristic and the stroke of his work, “said E. Dragūnas.
R. Matonis, Chief of the Communications Division of the Police Department Delphi He commented that in this case, the officers could have used the mentioned actions.
“The driver behaved in an aggressive manner, forcing the officer to react to the aggressive behavior. If the driver does not obey the requirement to present documents and get out of the car, the officer has the right to use force, “said R. Matonis, and when asked if the use of tear gas is possible immediately, he said that it was a long enough process.
Well, the statement by E. Dragūnas that the conflict began when he asked the agents to put on masks and they refused, R. Matonis commented as follows: “According to the driver, it was, and as it will be seen during the investigation prior to trial “.
When asked how he behaved during the conflict, E. Dragūnas did not hide that he did not avoid swearing: “I’m sorry I fell to your level and everything went to your level. I didn’t try to behave differently when they came and started lying to me. “
