On December 4, 2018, the accused arrested his former spouse who had come to pick up his children after school, even though he was forbidden to approach her.

Panicked, the woman had alerted the police and three officers had escorted her to the home for women victims of violence where she was staying.

The weapon jammed twice

In the parking lot of the establishment, the accused had emerged from a bush before taking out a weapon from his belt and pointing it in the direction of his ex-companion and the police.

Officers initially thought it was a telescopic baton, but the weapon was actually a sawed-off .22 long rifle.

“The gun was loaded.

Luckily, it jammed twice, ”a police source told 20 Minutes at the time.

In addition to the prison sentence, the accused also saw his parental authority withdrawn.
