He is just 18 years old and drives a scooter of over 125 cubic meters without a helmet without a license. JL was checked by the gendarmes who found on him two pouches containing 0,82 grams of herbal cannabis. He is stopped. The facts unfolded at the end of February.
JL was summoned Thursday morning before the local court of Saint-Martin. He appeared by videoconference from Basse-Terre prison. He explained that a friend had lent him his scooter - without license plate and without insurance - because he had "an urgent thing to do", namely "to go see his family in Grand Case". Regarding cannabis, he admitted knowing holding it is illegal. “But it wasn't much! », He emphasizes.
On the day of the check, CJ, 19, was a passenger in the scooter. He was in possession of 16,1 grams of cannabis and cash in various currencies. He was also summoned that same day before the local court.
The latter had "a better attitude" than JL and is "on the path to integration since he is in training" noted the prosecutor who requested an alternative sentence, that is to say a training course to raise awareness of the dangers of narcotic products and a fine of 200 euros. Against JL "with a more worrying profile", the prosecutor requested five months in prison and a committal warrant.
After deliberation, the court sentenced CJ only to the awareness training course and JL to a three-month prison sentence with a probationary suspension of two years including the obligation to work and to follow a training course to raise awareness of the dangers of narcotics.
