A 53-year-old farmer from Ambrières in the Marne region was sentenced on September 24 by the court of assizes in Marne to five years in prison for shooting at three men who broke into his home in February 2020 to siphon his fuel. According to ICI Champagne-Ardenne, the burglars entered the farmer’s property during the night of January 31 to February 1, 2020. The farmer shot one of the intruders with a rifle, seriously injuring him. After nearly five hours of deliberation, the court found him guilty of violence with a weapon resulting in disfigurement but not of attempted murder. His sentence includes four years that are suspended, with one year to be served under electronic monitoring. The court also ordered the confiscation of his weapons.
