GC, 21, appeared by videoconference from the Basse-Terre remand center for facts dating back to December 25, 2022 in the territory of Saint-Martin.
On that day, the defendant, riding a Yamaha T-Max scooter with his partner, lost control of his two-wheeler, hit a post and ended up in the fence of a private property. Taken to the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital, he is subjected to tests which reveal la presence of THC (cannabis) in his bloodThe gendarmes also note that the vehicle is neither insured nor registeredTwo days later, they discovered the presence of a 9mm cartridge, ammunition category B weapon, hidden under the scooter seat.
On December 29, the individual was arrested in Sandy Ground. He then admitted to the facts with which he was accused, in particular excessive cannabis consumption. Regarding the cartridge, he reportedly claimed to have picked it up On Pavement, to have kept it with him and having failed to report it to the police. The condition of his partner, who was in a coma after the accident, also prompted the prosecutor to consider reclassifying the facts as " failure to ensure the safety of others ».
This is not the defendant's first offense: he has already been detained for four years for theft with two aggravating circumstances, he had broken his leg in a previous traffic accident and was accused of violence against his partnerThe possession of category B weapon ammunition aggravates his case.
The verdict is final : six months of prison suspended sentences are added to this already extensive criminal record, accompanied by a criminal fine of € 400, two fines of € 150, confiscation of the vehicle and, finally, a road safety awareness course to be completed within six months. _LA
