The facts date back to this Wednesday March 13 around 10:30 p.m. The victim was not injured.

At the beginning of the week, a Montpellier woman had dialed "17" to denounce acts of violence on the part of her partner, with whom she shares her life in the Sabines district of Montpellier. But when the police arrived, the suspect had left the scene.

The situation having been tense for several weeks within the couple, this Wednesday, March 13, in the early evening, they agreed to have an explanation. But according to the young woman's hearing, the tone quickly rose and the exchange, which was intended to be temperate, degenerated.

She takes refuge with her mother

So much so that she decided to pack her bags and take refuge with her mother in Saint-Jean-de-Védas, taking her children. The story could have ended there except that a short time later, she saw her companion disembark, still angry, who did not want to stop there.

She then called the gendarmes of the Saint-Jean-de-Védas brigade who quickly arrived on the scene and proceeded to arrest the accused, who did not # 39;s offered no resistance. Although she was not injured that evening, in her companion's utility vehicle, the soldiers discovered a pump-action shotgun!

Called to court

Unfavorably known to the justice system, this 32-year-old from Montpellier was placed in police custody where he admitted the facts. He was finally released, under judicial supervision, pending his trial, before the judicial court, set for June 18.

As for the weapon, it was confiscated from him.
