From Scooting to Serving: The Whimsical Tale of an 18-Year-Old Drug Dealer
Picture this: an 18-year-old zipping around on an electric scooter, proudly embracing that sweet taste of *freedom*—or maybe it’s just the sweet smell of something else… *cue the dramatic music.* Yes, folks, this isn’t just a scene from a coming-of-age film or some comedy sketch; it’s the real-life shenanigans of a young adult who found himself at the Poitiers criminal court due to some questionable choices. Maybe those “grow up” talks should’ve come with a side of *how not to get caught* lessons!
Speed Bumps on the Fast Track to Incarceration
So, what led our thrill-seeking, scooter-riding friend to the stark confines of Vivonne prison? Well, it seems “scooter” is the new term for “drug dealer in a hurry.” Arrested on October 11, after a few too many puffs and a wild ride, this young, wide-eyed individual tested positive for THC—shock horror, right? Just when we thought the only thing he was high on was life itself!
But hold onto your helmets! Upon a search that must’ve felt like a very unfun episode of *Cribs*, officers found €200 in cash and a delightful 8.5 grams of heroin on him, alongside more goodies discovered at his father’s house. Who needs a signed ‘Dad of the Year’ award when you have the thrill of a bust to fill your evening?
Fear: The Ultimate Accessory
Now, in a classic tale of a young man under pressure—and no, I don’t mean the pressure of his upcoming algebra exam—our protagonist spilled the beans about being “forced” into dealing by some mysterious shadowy figure, whose name he “refused” to share due to “fear of reprisals.” Let’s pause there for a moment. The kid’s 18! Isn’t he meant to own up to his life decisions? The dramatic storyline would make Quentin Tarantino proud!
Going Down the Wrong Path
After his brush with the law, he admitted to dealing the good ol’ heroin and cannabis cocktail, all in an effort to support his rather luxurious cannabis habit. Apparently, around twenty enthusiastic ‘customers’ hit him up on Snapchat—because nothing says “I’m a responsible dealer” like digital evidence! I mean, honestly, where was the planning? Didn’t anyone tell him that dealing drugs is a bit like flying a kite in a thunderstorm? Not a smart mix, lads.
Justice Served… with a Side of Rehabilitation
When the gavel came down, our young dealer faced a sentence of ten months in jail, but with a *full probationary suspension*. It’s like being told you have to do your homework but can just sit back and play video games instead—only a bit more serious, obviously. For the next two years, he’ll need to “prove” he’s got his act together through training or a job. And let’s not forget 70 hours of community service—because picking up litter while wearing that lovely orange vest will surely turn him into a model citizen!
In this rollercoaster of a story, the takeaway is clear: life decisions matter, especially when they involve your scooter and how you choose to spend your time after just turning 18. Let’s hope his next ride is a whole lot less dramatic—or at least lacks the presence of the police! Here’s a thought: why not steer clear of the criminal side of Snapchat and maybe just post your cute cat videos instead?
Incarcerated since Sunday in Vivonne, a young adult aged just 18 appeared this Wednesday, October 16, 2024 before the Poitiers criminal court for drug trafficking.
The prison “it’s scary” he told the audience. The young Châtelleraudais man was arrested last Friday, October 11, while he was riding an electric scooter. He tested positive for THC and were found, on him and in his room at his father’s house, €200 in cash and 8.5 g of heroin.
He is afraid of reprisals
He admits to dealing heroin and cannabis despite his appearance on September 12 (the day he came of age) before the children’s judge. Forced according to him by a third party, whose name he refuses to give, for fear of reprisals. The same third party asked customers to name him as the sole dealer in this case, and also for cocaine, he assured in court.
Trafficking allowed him to finance his cannabis consumption. He allegedly sold ten grams of heroin and twenty grams of resin in the previous week. Around twenty customers usually contacted him via Snapchat.
The criminal court sentenced him to ten months in prison with a full probationary suspension. For two years, he must provide proof of training or work and receive treatment. He must also perform 70 hours of community service.
