Not complying with the request for inspection, the driver also drove the truck swerving and weaving on the road.

However, instead of cooperating with the authorities, the driver did not present the documents requested by the task force and instead found many excuses to evade the request. Although the officers in the task force of the Road Traffic Police Team No. 3 patiently analyzed and explained the violation, To Huu Sy still deliberately gave many reasons to deny his violation. He even used many insulting words to the task force, then drove his truck away.

Realizing that the subject's behavior could endanger many people and moving vehicles, the task force turned on the lights and horns to request the truck driven by To Huu Sy to stop. Although the weather was unfavorable, it was raining and the road was slippery, making it difficult to move, but with the determination to prevent To Huu Sy's dangerous behavior, the traffic police force continuously followed closely, at the same time contacted Thanh Chuong District Police and the local police force to coordinate to arrest the subject.

During the trip, even though he knew he had broken the law, To Huu Sy still did not obey the traffic police's orders and continued to drive the truck at high speed. This subject alsozigzagon the road to prevent the traffic police from overtaking. Even when driving to the road in front of Thanh Huong market area, seeing the police standing in front signaling to stop the car, To Huu Sy still recklessly drove towards the police officer on duty, forcing the police officer to move to the side of the road.

When running back to his private house in Hamlet 2, Thanh Huong Commune, Thanh Chuong District, To Huu Sy dumped all the wood on the truck and blocked the gate to prevent the authorities. The task force repeatedly reminded and requested him to stop obstructing the authorities from performing their duties, but the subject continued to disobey, continuously cursing, using vulgar, insulting, offensive and threatening words, challenging the task force while they were performing their duties. After that, the subject continued to drive the truck into the garage and removed and hid the car battery so that the authorities could not temporarily detain the vehicle.

At the same time, the subject was transferred to the headquarters of the Thanh Chuong District Police Department for further investigation and clarification.

At the police station, To Huu Sy was initially stubborn and refused to admit his illegal actions. However, when faced with solid documents and evidence from investigators, the subject admitted his violations.
