flag A man pleaded guilty to high-BAC driving on a dangerous highway, but the judge called the lenient sentence inadequate.

flag Paul Eastwood, 37, of Mississauga, pleaded guilty to driving with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit after being stopped on Highway 144 in Sudbury on July 30, with readings of 220 and 210 mg per 100 mL. flag Justice Leonard Kim criticized the recommended $3,000 fine and probation as too lenient, stating a four- to six-month jail term was warranted due to the high risk on a highway with a history of fatal crashes and the fact the incident occurred in the afternoon. flag Despite Eastwood’s early guilty plea, remorse, and commitment to counselling, the judge reluctantly accepted the joint sentencing agreement, noting the outcome sends a weak message about the dangers of high-BAC driving.
