Lapointe-Hall, one of three suspected impaired drivers charged in three days by Sarnia police at the time, pleaded guilty Friday to the charge. While representing himself in court, he told the judge there was no damage to the cars from the crash.
“Frankly, Mr. Lapointe-Hall, I must tell you that you’re very lucky, sir, that there wasn’t more property damage done to the vehicles during the course of the collision, but even more so that nobody was hurt or, even more tragically, killed,” Justice Krista Lynn Leszczynski said.
Lapointe-Hall, who had no prior criminal record, was fined $1,600, along with a $480 victim-fine surcharge, and banned from driving for one year.
