guilty before Acting Senior Magistrate Edward King.

Crown counsel Wayne Caines told the court that on March 30 David E. Tweed, 45, was stopped for a minor traffic offence.

When asked if he'd been drinking, Tweed replied that he'd had a couple of beers.

Tweed agreed to provide a sample for breath analysis. The lowest reading on his sample showed that he had 194 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.

Tweed apologised to the court. "I'm just sorry it happened like that,'' he said.

Mr. King fined Tweed $750 and disqualified him from all vehicles for 12 months.
