The prosecutor has charged Deveaux in his absence. If I understand it correctley it´s common practice when it´s a case against a foreign citizen, as the risk off them leaving the country before they can be correctley prosecuted. It ain´t as dramatic as it may sound. One ain´t taken off to jail because you are a foreign citizen, but are expected to drop off there passports until the mather is solved.
And no one really knows where Deveaux is, so it´s a sure bet he´s done just that. 5-6 years ago Ryan McLeod, then having a really great season for Olofström in the swedish third leauge, also choosed to flee after a crash while driving drunk. The night before the police where to take his passport the GM of Olofström said McLeod was eager to take responsibility for his actions. The next morning his appartment was empty. Rumoured to have been driven to Copenhagen Airport Kastrup by someone from the club.
Deveaux will now have to report to a police office. If not done soon he will be searched for and after that, of not found, he will be arrested in his absence and internationally wanted. McLeod never went to court in Sweden because then Canada and Sweden didn´t have an extradition treaty. Don´t know if that´s the case still.
"If he´s to be charged for assault or aggravated assault is an later issue", says prosecutor Margareta Danielsson-Olvon.
