They had spent the evening together in the Parma nightlife, when it was time to say goodbye, the woman said goodbye to her friend with a kiss on the cheek, but the man was convinced that he was getting something more than a goodnight kiss. The 34-year-old, wounded in her pride, took her cell phone out of her hands to punish her, with the absurd demand of having 40 Euros delivered to her to return it to her. After several failed attempts to regain possession of her cell phone, the woman walked away and asked the Carabinieri for help.

The episode dates back to a few days ago when a 35-year-old, after spending the evening in the company of a 34-year-old, and inviting him home to drink the “glass of stirrup”, was forced to ask for help on 112 as the friend was not satisfied with the goodnight kiss and in retaliation he had stolen his cell phone, demanding 40 euros to return it to him. The woman, realizing that the situation had taken a bad turn, after leaving her apartment, asked for the Carabinieri to intervene.
Within a few minutes, some Carabinieri patrols from the Radiomobile Section arrived on the scene, tracking down the 34-year-old still inside the apartment, with the woman’s phone in his pocket. At this point the man was accompanied to the barracks for identification operations and to better reconstruct the entire affair.
During his stay in the Fonderie street offices, the 34-year-old showed clear signs of nervousness and intolerance which culminated with the attempt, fortunately unsuccessful, to throw a fire extinguisher fixed to the wall at the soldiers. Even though he had been immobilized by the military, he still continued to maintain an aggressive and violent attitude, attempting to hit anyone who came within range.
Following what occurred, without prejudice to the principle of innocence until a final sentence, the 34-year-old was arrested because he was held responsible for attempted extortion and resistance to PU and was then sent to prison.
The judge, after validating the arrest, ordered the 40-year-old to be held in prison pending the trial.
