As it turned out, one of them was driven by basketball player Linas Kleiza.

J.Bacevičius informed lrt.lt that administrative protocols had been drawn up for offenders, and L. Kleiza would likely be administratively fined for not obeying the stop and for not having other documents necessary to not register the vehicle.
Admits guilt but denies trying to flee
15 minutes Contacting L. Kleiza herself, she said she was stopped on the road right next to her home and that she had recently purchased the ATV she was driving. The former basketball player says he simply did not have time to register his new vehicle, and the fact that he did not have the right to drive an ATV explains this with ignorance.
“I did not know that it was necessary to acquire an additional category of rights. But I understand that this does not absolve me of responsibility. The police worked very professionally and I admit those fines,” Linas said.
