The 24-year-old respondent appeared before the Montpellier court. He was sentenced to two years in prison with a warrant.
Placed in pre-trial detention since February 25, a 24-year-old Montpellier resident appeared this Friday, May 6, before the court for drug trafficking and a refusal to comply.
The story dates back to February 22 around 2:45 p.m., when police officers carrying out a banal road check, rue Causse, arrested a motorist driving an Audi A3. The man stops and, without embarrassment, specifies that he is in a hurry. But in front of the insistence of the civil servants who ask him to cut the contact, he sets off with a bang towards the avenue de la Liberté. There, he takes all the risks, overtaking several cars, before losing control of his vehicle by taking the motorway ramp at high speed. The police will arrest him, unharmed, when he had violently crashed into a security barrier.
Surprisingly talkative
In a backpack hidden under the front passenger seat of his little car, they will then discover the reason for his escape. In this case, a 7.65 automatic pistol with its four cartridges, 220 g of herbal cannabis, 25 g of resin and €2,070. If a search carried out at his home will prove unsuccessful, another diligent at his parents’ house has made it possible to get hold of a revolver and four casings. Enough evidence to take him into custody. Especially since on his cell phone, the investigators discovered photos of platelets of hash, cocaine as well as a shotgun with scope.
Surprisingly, during his hearing, the person concerned will be cooperative and could not be more talkative, admitting to indulging in drug trafficking (shit, marijuana and cocaine) since January 1, 2021. According to his words, he delivered to about thirty customers with whom he exchanged via the Snapchat application. He declared a monthly turnover of between €5,000 and €7,000.
Already two convictions
Already convicted of theft and violence in meetings, he was sentenced this time to two years in prison with continued detention. The court ordered the confiscation of the proceeds of the offense and issued a ban on possession of a weapon for a period of ten years.
