CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — A 26-year-old man from Iran who was caught driving drunk in P.E.I. was sentenced recently to one day in jail.

Nader Shadkanloo, who is in the province on a student visa, appeared before Judge John Douglas in provincial court in Charlottetown where he pleaded guilty to failing the breathalyzer.

The court heard the police stopped Shadkanloo during a traffic stop on Aug. 25 at around 2:30 a.m. Shadkanloo provided breathalyzer samples that were above the legal limit.

Along with the jail time, Shadkanloo must pay a $1,000 fine and is banned from driving for one year.
