Ammon News - The Amman magistrates court Monday found a man guilty of extortion and bullying for destroying a restaurant owner's vehicle and coercively taking money from him, and sentenced him to three years in jail.

During public sessions, the court found that the convict had a criminal record with dozens of honor crimes, theft, attempted theft, bribery and resistance, and was placed under house arrest several times but failed to heed the court orders.

In the details, the man came to a restaurant in Amman and bought sandwiches but refused to pay, bullied the owner using a sharp object and destroyed his vehicle with an axe that was in his position. He later returned to the restaurant and severely damaged the owner's vehicle, according to a report filed by a security center.

Under the Code of Criminal Procedure, the court found the defendant guilty of the crime of using force against a person and threatening him with violence, and sentenced him to a three-year imprisonment.
