Monday, December 16, when students return to school the Paul-Bert school in Beauvais (Oise)a resident of the neighborhood, Oualid Allalou, 28 years oldis seized with a desire to smoke. So as not to inconvenience the children, he crosses the street and rolls his cigarette which he lights. It was then that the municipal police officer, responsible for student safety, asked her to leave because, according to her, like the day before, he was looking at her too insistently. Oualid Allalou does not understand what is happening. Why should he obey this order when he has done nothing? He does not obey.
The man wore an electronic bracelet
The security assistant calls her colleagues from the municipal police who arrive very quickly. Oualid Allalou is afraid, perhaps because he is in home detention under electronic surveillance and wears an electronic bracelet. He gives an identity which, after verification, turns out to be false and tries to explain that “the supervisor was afraid, because of her appearance“. He gesticulates and his hand hits the face of a policewoman. He acknowledges it, but had no intention of hitting her. He becomes agitated and tries to leave, and allegedly gives the police a middle finger.
This part of the arrest was filmed by a police officer’s pedestrian camera, as indicated by the president of the Beauvais court this Wednesday, December 18 during her immediate appearance. On this recording, the middle finger is not visible and we do not hear the defendant calling the police officers “crazy“. Only two of the four police officers present that day saw the middle finger which led to him being prosecuted for contempt. Regarding the rebellion, he maintains that the police were aggressive and that he only defended himself.
Already convicted of sexual exhibitions
After the president read his criminal record and that of the three convictions for sexual exhibition of which he was found guilty and which concern the court, he comments: “I closed the door to my past“. The prosecutor then reminded him that two police officers said they heard him say, as he fled, “you are dead!» He does not recognize but insinuates that “it’s in his language“.
The prosecutor is asking for two sentences: four months for rebellion and four months for contempt, or eight months in prison in total, with a committal warrant.
He will spend four months in prison
Arnaud Ledru, the defense lawyer does not “didn’t expect all that“. For the outrage, he recalls that there are only two officials who saw him. “Why believe those who saw it and not the other two who didn’t?» He requests that his client on this point be dismissed from the prosecution. As for the four months firm and with warrant of committal required for the rebellion, he finds this excessive.
Oualid Allalou was acquitted of the contempt charges. He was found guilty of rebellion and received four months in prison and left the court supervised by police officers from the national police who took him directly to Beauvais prison, when he was a few days away from the end of his sentence.
