The appellant appealed his convictions and sentence for impaired driving causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing bodily harm, failing to remain, and careless storage of firearms.
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal in part, finding that the warrantless entry into the appellant's home was not justified by hot pursuit or consent, thereby violating section 8 of the Charter and requiring the exclusion of the firearms evidence.
The driving convictions were upheld, but the total sentence was reduced to three years and the DNA order was set aside.
