A 40-year-old was appearing under the accelerated procedure for having, in Saint-Benoit on February 10 at 4 p.m., tested positive with 2.26 g / l of alcohol in the blood during a roadside check.
He will himself tell the gendarmes that he is driving without a license due to an administrative suspension. In a state of recidivism for the same facts, the prosecution then decided to place him in police custody and then to present him before the court.
This is the fifth time he has been tried for driving under the influence of an alcoholic state. “These are extremely simple facts. You are a traffic offender, you are dangerous!“says the prosecutor who requires 6 months in prison with continued detention.
The defense argues on the professional difficulties of its client: “He has a pretty hard job and cash flow problems in his business because of the Covid. You have to have repression but you also have to have understanding” pleads the black dress which requires community service and no detention.
The court, no doubt wanting to convey a clear message, condemns the defendant to 8 months in prison with continued detention.
