He was placed under judicial supervision while awaiting his trial scheduled for the end of August.
During a patrol in the 7th district of the capital, a police crew noticed that a Mercedes was driving “speeding” and therefore “wishes to carry out a roadside check on the driver”, describes the flooring. The police then activated their flashing lights “but the person concerned continued on his way, made a sudden U-turn and hit a parked vehicle, which did not stop him”. Joachim Son-Forget continued “to drive at high speed, using lanes on which cyclists were traveling”specifies the prosecution.
The police eventually managed to block his path and arrested him at 12:10 p.m. His drug test revealed “positive for cocaine” and a quantity of 0.7 grams of white powder was found on him.

He will be judged for “refusing to comply with endangering the lives of others, failure to control his vehicle, driving while using drugs and hit and run after a material accident”. He faces five years in prison and a fine of up to 75,000 euros.
