A resident of Gargenville was tried by the court of Versailles, this Tuesday 23 February 2021. Rachid, 50, had been arrested the day before in Mezieres-sur-Seine (Yvelines).
Just before the curfew, he had been spotted on the departmental 113, by the municipal police.
At the wheel of his Citroën C4, Rachid drove very slowly. Too much. And all this while zigzagging under the wrath of the horns.
I don’t need to breathe. It will be positive ”
Faced with the agents, the man immediately announced the color. “I don’t need to breathe. It’s going to be positive. “ The measure will prove him right, for the twelfth time, because he is a repeat offender; 2.96 grams of alcohol in the blood.
In front of the judges, Rachid explained “This defect that has existed for a long time. I drink 6 to 8 whiskeys a day. When I come home from work by train, I go home. I drink alone or I find friends to drink. There, I took my wife’s car to join them. “
First arrested 30 years ago
All without a license since it is subject to cancellation related to alcohol.
Rachid has already been tried ten times for similar facts. His first trial dates back some twenty years, in this same courtroom. And his first arrest dates back to exactly thirty years.
In this context, the public prosecutor requested 12 months in prison, with imprisonment, considering that his “Danger on the road was as obvious as his alcoholism was rooted. “
The court followed, adding a reinforced follow-up for 3 years upon his release.
