That was the reaction of a 65-year-old accused when Justice Conrad Chapdelaine of the Court of Quebec informed him on Tuesday that a minimum fine of $ 2,000 was required in his file.
On June 24, the pensioner had drunk a lot … much too much drinking.
"It was June 24 … I wanted to go to the convenience store to buy cheese dung. I had the taste to eat, "said the accused in court.
Even though the convenience store was less than one kilometer from his residence in the north of Sherbrooke, the retiree made the wrong decision to drive his vehicle.
The person probably distracted by the effects of alcohol had not buckled his seatbelt. This infraction of the Highway Safety Code was noticed by patrol officers of the Sherbrooke Police Service on Lionel-Groulx Boulevard.
The patrollers noted her staggering gait, slowness, and alcoholic breath.
Subject to the breathalyser, the sexagenarian recorded an alcohol level reaching nearly three times the legal limit, ie a rate of 230 mg per 100 ml of blood.
"It's a rate that's more than twice the legal limit. There is a minimum sentence, "the judge pointed out to the accused.
The man who was not represented by counsel took 12 months to pay the high fine for driving with impaired alcohol.
He told the court that he was reluctant to sell his vehicle or rent an anti-starter for the twelve-month driving ban imposed on him.
