The commander was finishing his shift when he passed the defendant in the street and asked him to put on a mask.
After insults, Sylvain scampered off to outrun the police who started a chase to catch up with him.
It is finally on the place Jean-Jaurès that he will be subdued, injuring the police commander in the process.
In front of the court, the lawyer of the thirty-something pleaded the cause of a “lost psychologically suffering” and who stopped his treatment.
The recalcitrant was finally sentenced to 15 months in prison, including a probationary period with obligations of care, work with 105 hours of community service, and compensation for victims.
