Miscellaneous – Justice | In front of the Avignon Criminal Court, he tries to strangle his host then insults the police
On October 20, a Cavaillonnais who asked a couple he had been hosting for some time to give him the keys to their accommodation was violently attacked. Hit with fists and strangled – he will have a 10-day ITT – he received the help of a patrol of police officers from the CRS 48 who was on a security mission in the city center of Cavaillon.
The perpetrator, Malik, 31, who had an alcohol level of nearly two grams per liter of blood, struggled not to be arrested by the CRS. Then he copiously insulted and threatened the police with death during his transport to the hospital center where he was taken to be examined before his placement in police custody. Tried on Friday before the Avignon Criminal Court Malik – who has a criminal record blackened with 23 mentions – expresses regret in “assuming everything“. He explains that he drank beers and vodka while at the same time taking painkillers as part of medical treatment. The mixture would have been explosive and he did not care. is taken from Gérard whom he likes.
He says he does not remember what he said to the police “in this psychopathic state”. A “gratuitous violence” denounces the vice-procurator according to which the defendant struck without reason his host before unleashing himself against the police officers by uttering threats and tenant intolerable remarks.
In this case, a two-year prison sentence is requested, including six months with a two-year probationary suspension and the revocation of a 3-month probationary suspension with continued detention. Mehrenberger pleads the lack of coherence of the acts committed by his client who was not even aware of hitting his host whom he describes as an adorable man. After having deliberated on it, the court follows to the letter the requisitions of the public prosecutor by specifying “at a time it is not possible any more”.
