Boat burglar battened down Stealing a boat in the same marina where a police cruiser is moored scuttled the escape plans of two men who rowed off in the eight-foot Zodiac at 4:58 a.m. Oct. 20, crown counsel Edward Ormheim said March 8. In Sidney provincial court one of the men, 35-year-old Geoffrey - Green of Esquimalt, pleaded guilty to theft of a boat valued at over $1,000. A man on a neighboring boat reported the theft of the Zodiac from a yacht in Van Isle Marina. Police arrived at the marina just after 5 a.m., saw two men rowing the Zodiac around a pier, and followed in a skiff taken from the police boat which was also docked at the marina. The stolen boat was taken in tow shortly after 5 a.m., Ormheim said. Eight bottles of liquor were found in the boat. Defence lawyer Bruce Webber said Green was very intoxicated at the time of the theft. Green is on social assistance but is trying to find a job or become self-employed in order to support his family, Webber said. Judge Wayne Smith fined Green $200. Christmas cheer brought charge Swerving into the oncoming lane of traffic on Lochside Drive Christmas Eve day resulted in an impaired driving charge for Christopher Gardiner, 39, of Sidney. Speaking in Sidney provincial court Feb. 28, Crown counsel Ed Ormheim said Sidney RCMP stopped Gardiner on Lochside Drive and checked the man’s impairment level with an alcolmeter. Breathalyzer tests produced readings of .22 and .23 per cent. Gardiner pleaded guilty to the charge. Judge Alan Filmer fined Gardiner $300 and suspended his licence for a year. Minimum imposed for impaired A minimum $300 fine for impaired driving was imposed in Sidney provincial court Feb. 14 after Dawn Louise Gardiner, 38, pleaded guilty to impaired driving on Dec. 11. Police stopped the Sidney resident at 3 p.m. on the Pat Bay Highway near Island View Road after receiving a complaint from another motorist about the woman’s driving. Repeated crime brings jail sentence Jail is the next step for a 20- year-old Sidney man who has been on and off probation since 1984 and who appeared in Sidney provincial court Feb. 28 charged with possession of stolen property. “I have to bring you up short,” Judge Alan Filmer told David Bradley Blair after a report by Blair’s probation officer Niel Pearce. Filmer sentenced Blair to 30 days in jail and also recommended Blair attend the Connections resi- dential lifestyle program offered by the John Howard Society. The next nine-week Connections ses- sion starts in April. Blair pleaded guilty to posses- sion of stolen property. Crown counsel Edward Ormheim said Blair was stopped by Central Saa- nich police shortly before 1 a.m. Jan. 28. He was driving a 1986 Buick Century stolen earlier in the night from the Budget Rent-a-Car lot in Sidney. The rental office was bro- ken into to obtain the key to the car, Ormheim said. Defence lawyer Mayland McKimm said Blair took the vehi- cle for a joyride, realized his mistake and tried to return the vehicle. He ended up in Central Saanich because he kept having to turn to evade police. “Every time he turned a corner the police would be there,” MckKimm said.
