In a press release the gendarmes stated that they were conducting pedestal control at the Marina Royale on January 1 2009. The gendarmes had parked their vehicle in the Low Town parking lot when someone they described as a trouble maker began throwing stones at them and the vehicle. They tried calming down the person but this was prevented when some 15 other persons joined the attack. This they said prevented them from questioning the suspect. Among the attackers was a woman who was very aggressive and insulting. The others they said also participated in the violent attack on the State troopers. The gendarmes were forced to call in reinforcement that eventually arrested two persons between the age brackets of 18 and 19 years. The woman in particular would have to appear in court on April 2.
