Drug trafficking in Côte-d'Or: one year prison for fleeing police control
A man has been sentenced to one year in prison after fleeing during a search in Saint-Apollinaire. His accomplice had already received four months in prison.
Conviction for trafficking and failure to stop for police
According to france3-regions.franceinfo.fr, a drug trafficker arrested in October has been sentenced to one year in prison. The man had fled during a gendarmerie control six months earlier, on 17 April last year, in Saint-Apollinaire in Côte-d'Or.
The Quetigny gendarmerie brigade had then arrested the two occupants of a vehicle. The search resulted in the seizure of more than 600 grammes of heroin, 56 grammes of cannabis resin, 36 grammes of cocaine and around one hundred euros in cash. The driver was tried and sentenced to four months in prison.
The other occupant had managed to escape during the control. Law enforcement officers eventually found him on 26 October last year and arrested him. The courts have since delivered their verdict: one year in prison for drug trafficking and failure to stop for police.
