The gendarmes of the motorized platoon of Chanas (Isère) checked a motorist and his passenger on the RN7 this Friday near Reventin-Vaugris.

The man was driving with one tire missing and zigzagging dangerously.

The arrest was particularly eventful.

The soldiers had to stop the car with a harrow and pursue its occupants on foot.

A third passenger is still on the run, reports Le Dauphiné Libéré.

A heavy history

Once caught, the motorist used a tear gas canister on the gendarmes.

He was finally subdued and taken with one of the occupants of the car to the gendarmerie.

The investigators then discovered that the individual had already been convicted several times and that he was driving without a license and under the influence of narcotics.

The passenger was released.

Shortly after, the gendarmes learned that he had participated, with the driver and the other passenger, in the violent theft of the vehicle in Solaize (Rhône) a few minutes before the intervention.

The driver was finally imprisoned on Monday pending his hearing on May 9.
