A man will be tried in June for having threatened Wednesday with a compressed air pistol the LR deputy for Aube, Valérie Bazin-Malgras, while she was pasting posters, we learned this Saturday, December 31 from of the Troyes public prosecutor’s office.
The man will be tried on June 7 for violence with the use or threat of a weapon, said the public prosecutor Julie Bernier, confirming information from “The Flash East”. He was placed under judicial supervision.
The aggravating circumstance of violence against a person holding public authority was not retained because the quality of deputy for the 2nd constituency of the Aube of Valérie Bazin-Malgras was not for her. “not known”she added, the man believing to be dealing with “young people who once again degraded the billboard”.
Multiple rubber bullet shots
The facts took place on Wednesday December 28 in the evening in Bordes-Aumont, where the deputy, her daughter and her parliamentary assistant stuck up posters presenting the wishes of the elected official.
The 45 year old man “a bit alcoholic”first told them that he was going “looking for his 22” (a rifle) and then fired rubber bullets from an air pistol, causing no injuries.
His criminal record has four mentions for damage to property, according to the prosecutor. “I hope he will be severely punished by justice” Valérie Bazin-Malgras told AFP, saying she had been “extremely shocked by so much violence”.
