A P.E.I. man who put his truck in a snowbank while driving drunk was recently fined $2,500 and banned from driving for one year.

Tyler James Gallant appeared before Judge Jeff Lantz in provincial court in Charlottetown where he was sentenced for drunk driving.

The court heard that on Feb. 13, the police responded to a single-vehicle collision after Gallant’s truck went in a snowbank.

Gallant later provided breathalyzer samples that were more than twice the legal limit.

Along with the fine, Gallant must also pay a $750 victim surcharge.
