The accused was charged with seven offences arising from two temporally and physically proximate events on May 17, 2014: a dangerous motor vehicle collision causing bodily harm, failure to remain at the scene, break and enter, mischief, assault on a peace officer, impaired operation causing bodily harm, and refusal to comply with a drug recognition evaluation demand.
The Crown led evidence from 15 witnesses.
The accused contested the driving and drug-related charges.
The court found insufficient evidence to establish the accused was the operator of the vehicle involved in the collision, as no eyewitness could identify the driver and both front doors of the vehicle were found open.
The court found the accused guilty of mischief, assault on a peace officer, and refusal to comply with the drug recognition evaluation demand, but acquitted on the remaining charges.
