A Muskoka man was sentenced to jail time after recently pleading guilty to several offences, including impaired driving.
Evan Monk, 38, of Utterson, pled guilty in a Bracebridge courtroom to impaired driving and driving while prohibited.
Court heard on Jan 4, 2025 near midnight, police were called to a potential accident in a parking lot on Manitoba Street in Bracebridge.
When police arrived, they found a damaged vehicle stuck on a snowbank and Monk “reclining” in the car with an open bottle of white wine.
Court heard Monk was belligerent with officers and resisted being put in the back of a cruiser. More police attended the scene and Monk had to be “grounded” after becoming aggressive with the officers.
He refused to identify himself and refused to take a breathalyser sample, court heard.
Court heard he was suspended at the time for driving with over 80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood.
He was given a 170-day jail sentence, 12 months’ probation and a four-year driving ban.
