Two days after Irma's passage, SG, a 27-year-old Saint-Martinois, leaves with his half-brother, then a minor, "to find something to make electricity".
In Bellevue, they stop in front of a broken store. SG enters the establishment and in particular takes a battery and a boat engine in order to be able to build a generator at home. He explains to his brother that he will come back the next morning to tell the manager.
Constables patrol the area and see them leave the store. They challenge them and have them put against the wall. One of the gendarmes takes out his gun and at this moment SG says that he is a police officer and shows his card. He is indeed a security assistant with the border police in Saint-Martin.
"I am a police officer and therefore have the right to steal?" ”, Comments the vice-prosecutor Yves Paillard who, during a previous hearing of pleaded-guilty, had refused the request of non inscription in the bulletin number two of the criminal record, of the defendant. And it was because no agreement had been reached that SG was summoned to the Saint Martin criminal court on Thursday.
After deliberation, the court sentenced him to a suspended fine of 500 euros and to a ban on practicing in the public service for five years. The Deputy Prosecutor had requested a three-month suspended prison sentence and a five-year public service ban
SG resigned from the national police on January 17. He is now an electrician, he has set up on his own.
