CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — A P.E.I. man who was caught driving drunk was recently sentenced to three days in jail.

Christopher Parker Whitlock, 20, appeared before Chief Judge Nancy Orr in provincial court in Charlottetown where he entered a guilty plea.

Crown attorney Gerald Quinn told the court that on July 24 the RCMP stopped Whitlock’s vehicle.

Whitlock later provided breathalyzer samples that were above the legal limit.

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

He is banned from driving for one year.
