Judge Orders Pretrial Detention Without Bail in Tui Gas-Station Hold-Up Case

The case centers on eight alleged offenses, with forensic and toxicology results pending to inform any assessment of mitigating circumstances.

Overview

  • The judge of Tui Court No. 2 ordered provisional imprisonment without bail for the 41-year-old detained after Tuesday's incident at the Sertuy station.
  • Authorities are investigating eight alleged crimes: robbery with violence or intimidation, threats, coercion, injuries, damages, assault on agents, illegal detention, and illicit weapons possession.
  • Investigators report he entered with a real pistol, broke cash-register screens, demanded money, and witnesses say he tried to fire several shots without success.
  • At gunpoint he held three customers and two employees, resisted arrest, and a dissuasive shot by Guardia Civil hit a wall as some customers and officers sustained minor injuries.
  • He spent 24 hours under psychiatric observation in Vigo and forensic and toxicology analyses remain pending to clarify intoxication or mental-health factors.
