At around 3 pm on Wednesday 12 December, a man cut through a bar of the metal gate at the Mussidan (24) gendarmerie station using an angle grinder, before fleeing the scene.
He was quickly caught, arrested and then taken into custody at the Montpon-Ménestérol gendarmerie.
This man in his thirties, a former Foreign Legionnaire, wanted to draw attention to his cause as he is calling for a cabinet reshuffle, but this has not taken place. The court ordered that he be examined by a doctor. He was recently sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for sexual assault.
