The accused was charged with multiple driving and obstruction offences following a collision and subsequent combative arrest.
The court dismissed the accused's Charter applications under ss. 10(a) and 10(b), finding that the 13-minute delay in providing the right to counsel was justified by the accused's highly agitated and actively resistant behaviour.
At trial, the accused was acquitted of dangerous operation, flight from police, and failing to identify himself due to insufficient evidence.
However, the court found the accused guilty of impaired operation, operating with a blood alcohol concentration over 80mg, and resisting a peace officer.
