CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — A 36-year-old P.E.I. man was sentenced recently to 20 days in jail after pleading guilty to his second impaired driving offence.

John Douglas Davidson was also fined $2,000 and ordered to pay $600 into the victims of crime fund. In addition, Davidson is prohibited from operating a motor vehicle for two years and 20 days.
