Windsor provincial court

Jailed for undertaking breaches

The court has jailed a Mount Uniacke man for failing to comply with court undertakings.

Harvey Cameron Davis, 45, pleaded guilty to the charges in Windsor provincial court Friday, June 20.

Judge Claudine MacDonald sentenced Davis to 30 days in custody for each of the breaches, to be served concurrently.

Davis committed both undertakings in Mount Uniacke June 13 when he communicated with a specific person without lawful excuse and when he failed to comply with a condition that he not consume alcoholic beverages or other intoxicants.

Fine for readings

Avondale resident Clayton Peter Robinson, 20, pleaded guilty Tuesday, June 24 to driving while his blood-alcohol readings were more than twice the legal limit.

Judge Alan Tufts fined Robinson $1,000 plus a $150 victim surcharge, or 17 days in custody on willful default, and prohibited him from driving in Canada for a year.

The Nova Scotia Registry of Motor Vehicles will ban Robinson from driving in the province for at least a year.

Robinson committed the offense in Mantua June 3 when police found he had blood-alcohol readings of 200 and 190 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, more than twice the 80-mg/100-ml legal limit.

The Criminal Code allows for heavier penalties in those breathalyzer-related convictions in which readings exceed 160 mg/100 ml.

Windsor resident Kevin Howard Dimock, 45, pleaded guilty June 24 to driving while his blood-alcohol readings exceeded the legal limit.

Judge Tufts fined Dimock $850 plus a $127.50 victim surcharge, or 15 days in custody on willful default. He prohibited Dimock also from driving in Canada for a year, a ban the provincial Registry of Motor Vehicles will at least match.

Dimock committed the offense in Windsor May 13 when police found he had blood-alcohol readings of 150 and 160 mg/100 ml.

Lower Sackville, Halifax County, resident Kalia Tiffany Heather Peterson, 21, pleaded guilty June 20 to driving while her blood-alcohol level exceeded the 80-mg/100-ml legal limit.

Judge MacDonald fined Peterson $850 plus a $127.50 victim surcharge, or 15 days in custody on willful default, and prohibited her from driving in Canada for a year.

The Registry of Motor Vehicles will ban Peterson from driving in the province for at least a year.

Peterson committed the offense in Hants County May 3 when police found she had blood-alcohol readings of 120 and 110 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood.

Breathalyzer nets fine

Windsor resident Steven David MacKay, 47, pleaded guilty June 24 to driving while his blood-alcohol levels exceeded the 80-mg/100-ml limit.

Judge Tufts fined MacKay $700 plus a $105 victim surcharge, or 12 days in custody on willful default.

The judge also prohibited MacKay from driving in Canada for a year, a ban the Registry of Motor Vehicles will at least match.

MacKay committed the offense in Windsor May 19 when police found he had blood-alcohol readings of 140 and 130 mg/100 ml.

Unlawful marijuana production, weapon storage

MacKay Section resident Brian Richard Porter, 45, pleaded guilty June 24 to unlawfully producing cannabis marijuana, a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), and to unlawful storage of a firearm.

The judge also imposed a 10-year firearms ban on Porter and forfeited the materials involved in the CDSA offense.

Porter committed the offenses in Brooklyn April 8.

Judge MacDonald found Upper Vaughan resident Timothy David Rowlands, 46, guilty June 20 of obstructing police in the execution of their duties.
