PS, manager of a snack bar on rue de Hollande, just closed his establishment on Wednesday 25 April around 20 p.m. when HD-G, 21, appeared. The young man who has not taken the trouble to hide himself when he knows the victim, points a handgun at PS's face without touching him, however, and asks him for money. He estimates that the manager owes him forty dollars. PS empties his pockets and gives around 20 dollars to his attacker who leaves on a white 125 scooter. The gendarmes will arrest him almost two hours later when he returns to the scene.
Placed in custody since, the young man is presented to the criminal court of Saint-Martin for immediate appearance this Friday, April 27 for a double prevention: extortion, legal recidivism, and driving without a license (from 125). Despite the seriousness of the charges and the content of his criminal record, HD-G waives his right to be assisted by a lawyer in order to be tried on the same day. He acknowledges the facts and confides: "I have a problem I get angry too quickly ”. But denies having used a weapon. It's stupid to come and hold a gun for 40 dollars when I know he knows me and will call the gendarmes. ". However, by exploiting the data of his mobile phone, the gendarmes found a photo of a weapon which corresponds to the description by the victim of the weapon used in the robbery. The vice-prosecutor specifies in his indictment, that weapon or not weapon, the acts of extortion are all the same characterized.
In the event of a legal recidivism, HD-G is not accessible to the suspended sentence. Despite his young age, his criminal record is well loaded. It contains six convictions, which have already earned him stays in prison, and the majority of which relate to acts of violence with a weapon and robbery with violence. The court found him guilty of the alleged acts and sentenced him to two years in prison. It issues a deposit warrant and orders the confiscation of the seals. HD-G is also banned from holding a weapon for five years. HD-G leaves the same day for Baie Mahault prison. (Source: www.soualigapost.com)
