PICTOU – A 70-year-old Pictou County man will be serving 10 months in jail for driving while impaired and refusing a breathalyzer following a sentencing in Pictou on Friday.
Justice Glen McDougall sentenced John Arthur Gillespie to 10 months for each charge, to be served concurrently.
“Mr. Gillespie, I can only wish you luck as you battle with your drinking problems,” McDougall said.
“I can only trust what I heard you say earlier, that you have turned the corner, you recognize that you have a problem, and you recognize that you cannot even have one drink of alcohol for the rest of your life. You owe that to yourself. You owe that to your family. You owe it to the public.”
