The Angoulême Criminal Court on Wednesday sentenced a forty-something for 250 malicious calls to the gendarmes of Loudun and Châtellerault (Vienne). This 45-year-old Angoumoisin received a six-month suspended probationary sentence.
250 calls from March to December 2020
The 250 malicious calls took place from March to December 2020. In mid-December, the man was finally placed in police custody. This time he had threatened to come and blow up the Loudun gendarmerie.
At the bar, he recounted being angry with a gendarme of the brigade who had checked him while intoxicated at the wheel in July 2012.
500 euros for non-pecuniary damage to the police officer concerned
Following this check, his license was canceled, which prevented him from finding a job, he explained to the court. Since then, he has been ruminating on this episode, against a background of alcohol problems. “The only way to calm this anxiety is to make these phone calls …“, Argued his lawyer Annabelle Bouttin. The psychiatrist felt that it was “accessible to criminal sanction“.
Already sentenced several times, he therefore took a six-month suspended prison sentence. He will also have to take care of himself and pay 500 euros for moral damage to the annoyed gendarme.
