Six-month suspended prison sentence for hit and run

0

"It could have been a trivial road accident," said vice-prosecutor Michaël Ohayon, if the driver had not fled, driving dangerously under the influence of an alcoholic state (0,66 mg / l), without a permit and without a residence permit.

A native of Dominica and 33 years old, JS caused a road accident on April 21. On the RN 7, in the Côte de la Savane, he struck the car in front of him, which had just stopped. Instead of making an amicable report, he fled. He was arrested in Quartier d'Orléans by the gendarmes. He was scheduled to appear in court two weeks ago but the trial was postponed due to the lawyers' strike until yesterday. Wednesday morning, JS carried a letter from his boss attesting to his honesty and his willingness to work and renewed his apologies for his behavior. "I haven't thought about it, I was afraid," he said. After deliberation, the court imposed a suspended sentence of six months' imprisonment, the ban on driving any land vehicle in France for one year, as well as a fine of 100 euros. The prosecution had also requested a fine of 500 euros.
