A 53-year-old man was tried on Monday in immediate appearance before the criminal court of Angers (Maine-et-Loire).
A few days earlier, he had threatened gendarmes and physically assaulted one of them, reports Ouest France.
This Saturday, the soldiers were alerted to the presence of a drunken man in the shopping center of Segré-en-Anjou Bleu (Maine-et-Loire).
The 50-year-old was drinking alcohol in a supermarket and had just provoked the security guard.
