Wednesday, the criminal court of Béziers (Hérault) sentenced an 18 year old man to 3 months in prison, with continued detention, to which were added 5 months in revocation of a stay pronounced by the court for child in November 2019, or 8 months in prison, details Raphaël Balland, the public prosecutor of Béziers.
On March 30, the gendarmes of Valras-Plage had placed him in police custody, after having checked and verbalized him six times on the public highway between March 20 and 29, in violation of the confinement rules, due of the Covid-19 epidemic.
He wanted to go see friends
"He took no account of the verbalizations and the reminders to the order of the gendarmes," continues the public prosecutor of Béziers. He explained his behavior by the wish to go to see friends because he was bored alone at his home. "
The man was known to the justice system for committing crimes when he was a minor, for which he was sentenced in 2019 to suspended sentences and community service. He was to be tried soon for driving under the influence of alcohol.
