“On weekends, I don’t have too many limits,” concedes the defendant. At 24, he likes to party, drink, just to unwind. Until then, nothing reprehensible, if everything is done without annoying others and it remains in the nails on the legislation side. But during this evening spent in a bar in Moyeuvre-Petite, on October 10, the fun gave way to fear.
Summary of the facts condensed in the investigation, transcribed by President Alexandre Gantois, on October 12 at the Thionville court: “The police were called in the evening by a witness who said that several customers of a cafe were threatened by two individuals, heavily alcoholic, one of which is armed with a 44mm caliber revolver. There is talk of a dispute that arose in the bar. An altercation between you and a client, which would have thrown you to the ground, according to the passenger of your vehicle. You would have, according to the manager, annoyed the singer of the group which was performing that evening, then left the premises before to come back, with that gun. The victim you pointed out says he heard three clicks. It turns out that the gun was not loaded. “
