Two young men appeared in court on Wednesday for throwing a water bomb at Olivier Berzane, mayor of the 8th arrondissement of Lyon, last February.
The mayor was then visiting a solidarity grocery store, route de Vienne.
The author of the throw, a member of the Daltons, was quickly arrested by the police, as well as his driver who was supposed to film the scene for social networks.
According to
Le Progrès
, the 31-year-old Dalton was sentenced to four months in prison, a sentence he will serve under an electronic bracelet.
His driver was released from the charges against him that day.
However, he was sentenced to eight months in prison and a fine of 600 euros for having stored cannabis in his home.
