The accused was charged with impaired care or control of a motor vehicle and failure or refusal to provide a breath sample.
The Crown's evidence established that the accused was found intoxicated in the driver's seat of his vehicle, which was stuck in a snowbank at a bar parking lot.
The accused's defence relied on alleged cognitive impairment from a beating he received the previous day in New Liskeard.
The court rejected the accused's credibility, finding his selective memory and lack of corroborating evidence problematic.
The court found the accused guilty on both charges, determining that he had failed to rebut the presumption of impaired care or control and that his refusal to provide a breath sample was deliberate and intentional.
