Uckange. The driver turns on a rotating beacon to throw off the gendarmes: head for the prison

He is 22 years old and has just added a 19e mention in his criminal record. The boy is in the bidding. 1is November, the gendarmes arrested him in the middle of the afternoon after a chase between Uckange and Scy-Chazelles.

A rotating beacon placed on the dashboard

He is spotted driving an Audi A3 overtaking another car on a white line. The patrol wants to control him but he speeds up. A flashing light that he has placed on his dashboard even opens the way for him. Motorists move away. It rushes on the A31 towards Metz, it exits at Moulins. An Audi tire hits a sidewalk and bursts. The driver ends up on a path and tries to flee on foot. He was arrested, not without difficulty. The gendarmes describe a litany of insults and death threats.

The young man in recidivism was presented the next day before the criminal court of Thionville according to the procedure of immediate appearance. He had time to calm down. Thin, pale, dark hair tied back, he is dressed all in black. He denies the threats, admits that he got carried away and some profanity uttered.

Driving prohibition

The defendant was released from prison last September. He met a girl, lives with grandma. Julien Latreille left school in 3e. His first convictions took him to a closed educational center for minors. He continued with the stays in prison when he came of age. He frankly did not have the leisure to pass the permit. He says he still bought the Audi A3 because it was “a good deal” and he started the process to learn to drive. But he will have to wait before passing the code.

Because the Thionville criminal court returned him to detention at the end of the hearing on Tuesday. The magistrates sentenced him to two years in prison. Upon release, he will still be banned from driving for two years.
