The offender was found guilty of impaired driving.
As a repeat offender, he faced a mandatory minimum penalty of 30 days incarceration.
The court considered the availability of intermittent sentences and the practice of correctional authorities issuing Temporary Absence Passes (TAPs).
The court imposed a sentence of 60 days incarceration to be served intermittently, a 2.5-year driving prohibition, and 18 months probation, with a strong recommendation that no TAP be granted.
