“I didn’t think about it at the time. It was stupid. I made a monumental mistake. I just wanted to move a car as a favor for a friend. » This Tuesday, November 21, this 36-year-old from Quimper can only regret having gotten behind the wheel drunk, without having a license and without wearing his seat belt, on November 15, in Quimper. A National Police patrol will note, that day around 6 p.m., the absence of wearing a belt and checking the visibly intoxicated thirty-year-old. He has a blood alcohol level of 0.92 mg/l of blood.
Thirteen convictions on his record
In view of the thirteen entries in his criminal record, most of them for drunken driving, the Quimper resident is placed in police custody. It is therefore detained that he appears this Tuesday. “I have a certain dependence on alcohol. But I don’t drink during the week, just on weekends in festive mode,” concedes the defendant, released from detention a month earlier. “When will you understand?” When we are at almost 1 g of alcohol, on a Friday, at 6 p.m., it’s problematic,” thunders Lucille Chassade, the president of the court.
“You did not know how to grasp the outstretched hands”
“You have a long record, but the justice system has already tested numerous alternatives to incarceration with you. You did not know how to grasp the outstretched hands,” asserts Tania Deshaires for the public prosecutor, who requires eight months of imprisonment and the revocation of four months plus six months of probation.
“Yes, my client is desperate, I admit. But I ask that he be able to serve his sentence under an electronic bracelet so that he completes the professional training that he has started,” argues Mr. Marc Buisine. The 30-year-old was finally sentenced to six months' imprisonment and the revocation of a four-month probationary sentence, with continued detention, for ten months in total.
