When it was already dark, the police car drove up to a group of people in the forest, where work was in full swing. People were aggressive and the police called for reinforcements from the regional center. However, in the area, as soon as they found out what kind of trouble their colleagues were in, they were in no hurry to go. Instead, a “roof” of workers arrived - people in camouflage, balaclavas, with automatic weapons. They quickly surrounded the hapless policemen and began to explain the state of affairs to them.
During the explanation, shots were fired into the air from a Kalashnikov assault rifle to match the words. The head of the local police department, who started this whole “fuss,” turned out to be especially incomprehensible. Most likely, the salary increase was not enough for him. After all, the accused, the leader of the bandits protecting illegal amber miners, who during the conversation, for greater clarity, hit a policeman on the head with the butt of a pistol, so innocently explained the functions of the police: “this is a misunderstanding, I thought that the police came, as always, to protect my workers from aggressive local residents."
The Vladimiretsky District Court sentenced the “businessman” who hit a policeman with a PM-8 pistol to a three-year suspended sentence and ordered him to pay more than six thousand legal costs. All other circumstances of the case remained outside the attention of the court.
