Found drunk and injured outside his home, an LR senator is placed in a cell to sober up after resisting help

The LR senator from Deux-Sèvres, Philippe Mouiller, was found unconscious in front of his home in Paris, drunk and injured, and was placed in a sobriety cell after strongly resisting receiving help, the Paris prosecutor’s office reported this Wednesday, October 8, confirming information from Paris Match magazine.

The president of the Senate Social Affairs Commission, 56, “was discovered inanimate on the public road, under his house, by police officers who were patrolling,” the prosecutor’s office stated.

From the same source, “he was obviously in a state of public intoxication and had bruises on his face. The man presented strong resistance to the police who were trying to get the firefighters to take him to the hospital, which led them to handcuff him,” we added.

According to the prosecutor, the senator, elected since 2014, “was taken back to the sobriety cell, where he has not yet been able to be heard” about the circumstances that “would have led him to this situation.”
