David Michael Horsfield, who
was stopped by police on West
Saanich Road about 1:20 a.m.,
pleaded guilty in Sidney provin-
cial court Thursday to driving with
a blood-alcohol reading over .08
per cent.

Crown counsel Edward Orm-
heim said Horsfield was south-
bound on West Saanich Road at
1:15 am. when he was noticed by
police and followed. Horsfield
tumed night at Marchant Road and
then drove behind a church, stopp-
ing and turing off his headlights,
Ormheim said.

After a few minutes, Horsfield
continued driving south on West
Saanich Road and was followed by
police to Keating Crossroad where
he was stopped.

He had breathalyzer readings of

~ 15 and .14 per cent.

Judge Stephen Denroche fined
Horsfield $350 and suspended his
licence for a year.

“Tt was a dumb thing to do and I
shouldn’t have done it,” the 28-
year-old Horsfield said. The inci-
dent was his first offence.
