But the young man thought it was not enough and demanded a raise. When he didn’t go, he started rampaging so much that the clerk and the mayor already feared for their lives. The foreigner is now headed to court for dangerous threats and disorderly conduct. The prosecutor proposes twelve months in prison.
Edvinas Š. traveled to the Czech Republic with his mother as a nine-year-old child. He later ended up in a children’s home, where he stayed until he came of age. For two years, he hung out on the streets in Prague, began to fet, and finally returned to his mother, who at that time lived in the village of Bojanovice, which belonged to Rabí.
“He didn’t get along with his mother, so we offered him a small municipal studio apartment. We didn’t have the heart to leave him on the street again,” said Mayor Miroslav Kraucher. The city therefore agreed to become the young man’s guardian and take care of his finances in particular. “We agreed that we would deduct accommodation expenses from his disability pension and pay him 200 crowns a day in pocket money. If he received more, he would be able to spend the money immediately on drugs,” explained the mayor.
But the young man gradually began to demand a higher financial allocation. “He went to the office maybe thirty times a day. He always wanted more money. When he didn’t get it, he showered the clerk with obscene abuse. It all culminated this summer, when his aggressiveness grew to unacceptable limits and we really started to fear him,” Kraucher recounted.
According to the indictment, Edvinas Š. came to the town hall in mid-July and demanded 30 crowns in addition to the pocket money he had already paid. “When the office workers refused to comply, he started threatening to kill them and set fire to everything. Subsequently, he shouted at the mayor, who tried to kill him, that he would take him down and threw a stone at him,” the public prosecutor described.
The young man himself denied that he threatened to kill anyone. According to him, he was under the influence of meth that day and the clerks upset him because they allegedly do not pay him what he is entitled to.
The mayor is convinced that under the influence of drugs, the young man would be able to attack him or anyone else unexpectedly and suddenly without reason and without cause.
