A P.E.I. man who was caught driving drunk after someone reported him to the police was sentenced recently to one day in jail.

Michael David Varis, 21, appeared before Judge John Douglas in provincial court in Charlottetown where he pleaded guilty to failing the breathalyzer.

The court heard the police pulled Varis over after receiving a complaint about a possible impaired driver.

Varis provided breathalyzer samples that were above the legal limit.

Along with the jail time, Varis must also pay a $1,000 fine and $300 victim surcharge.

He is banned from driving for one year.
