The situation seemed so worrying that the commander of Lucé’s gendarmerie company went in person to the Chartres court to testify of the fear of the gendarmes.
Two twin brothers to appear on Monday for threats against gendarmes in Epernon
Presented in immediate appearance in court, by videoconference from Saran prison (Loiret), the twins, aged 28, are almost hilarious. To believe that the adventure they are going through is a moment of rare happiness. “One has the impression that they believe themselves in the spectacle”, estimates, distressed, the public prosecutor.
After a chase with the gendarmes, a 26-year-old Lucien is on his twenty-fourth conviction
Johnny and Jonathan Dorkeld look like two drops of water. They could be easily interchangeable, without anyone noticing: same short beard, same ironic look, same expressions and also the same T-shirt, in the image of comic book heroes.
On April 19, 2020, two gendarmes on patrol saw a car stopped on the roadside, in Hanches.
Tone up
They decide to control the occupants. Johnny Dorkeld is behind the wheel, one of his friends by his side. The latter is in good standing. He has in hand the derogatory displacement certificate requested by the gendarmes. The driver has the precious document in his possession. Except that it’s in the name of his mother.
From there, the tone rises. The two gendarmes are insulted. But, considering that the brothers are dangerous, and that, according to them, the arrest is likely to go wrong, they let go Johnny Dorkeld and his friend.
Forty-five gendarmes to arrest them
An operation was set up to arrest him after having called in reinforcements. On Thursday, forty-five gendarmes, including those from the National Gendarmerie’s surveillance and intervention platoon, took over the property on which the two brothers lived.
Both are there. But the gendarmes, unable to distinguish them, decided to embark the two. And as they expected, it is going very badly. The insults, each more crude than the next, followed one another, followed, according to the file, by death threats.
“The next time I see you in the car, I run over you,” said one. His brother allegedly promised a gendarme to “eat it”.
Six and eight months in prison
Jonathan Dorkeld even spits at the feet of a female constable.
The duo of defendants recognize outrages, not death threats.
“They are less friendly Dalton,” said the gendarmerie commander. “They never stop. One day there will be a drama. “
They are sentenced to six months in prison, for Jonathan Dorkeld, and eight months, for Johnny Dorkeld, with continued detention.
