LThe young defendant finished his race in the Beauronne roundabout in Chancelade, near Périgueux, in Dordogne, on the night of Friday January 10 to Saturday January 11.
Shortly after midnight, he crossed paths with a patrol from the anti-crime brigade (BAC). The police officers and the young man recognize each other. The Périgourdin crashes into the police car before fleeing, refusing to stop despite the flashing lights and the two-tone sound. A few moments later, he lost control of his Peugeot and was arrested in the courtyard of the Hôtel de la Beauronne.
“I had just collected drugs in Thiviers for my personal consumption. I panicked and I accelerated,” Mohamed Boukerma explained to the judges, this Monday, January 13, during his trial before the Périgueux criminal court. 140 grams of cannabis were found in the Peugeot he was driving or on him.
Machete and airsoft
The vehicle was reported stolen in Talence, Gironde. He says he bought it two months ago in the Lille region. Several objects found inside are intriguing, but the defendant has an answer for everything: a pepper spray “because there may be thieves at the gas station”, a machete “to cut the wood for the barbecue”, and a airsoft gun “to play with friends”.
-“There is nothing coherent in what he says,” said the public prosecutor. His criminal record, including 12 mentions, also weighs heavily in the requisitions. Diane de Chalup requested two years in prison with continued detention.
Mohamed Boukerma's lawyer, Me Julie Lebon, tried to avoid incarceration for her client: “He is caught in a mechanism from which he can hardly escape.” “It’s not possible to talk,” the defendant said a little earlier before considering a base in the Landes. I'm going to be 25 soon, I haven't built anything. I have to leave this Dordogne. »
The court agreed by sentencing him to a two-year ban from the department. The sanction will apply at the end of the one-year prison sentence ordered, with continued detention.
