Morris man off the road for 3 years
A-Morris Twp. man will be spending
the next eight months behind bars after
pleading guilty in provincial court,
Wingham, last Thursday to driving
with over 80 milligrams of alcohol in
100 millilitres of blood and driving
while disqualified.
According to Crown Attorney Rod
Guthrie, Ontario Provincial Police
were conducting a patrol in Huron
Fast Brussels Ward, on Oct. 31 at
11:48 p.m. when they noticed a gentle-
man driving a car in "an unusual man-
ner".
The driver, Warren Hayes, 53,
showed symptoms of alcohol con-
sumption, according to Guthrie. The
lower of two breathalizer readings was
190 mg.
It was also discovered that Hayes was
legally disqualifed from driving as the
result of an over-80 charge in 1998.
Stating that Hayes' record was admit-
ted Duty Counsel John Myers said the
accused has been on a disability pen-
sion for three years and realizes he does
have problems with alcohol.
In anticipation of losing his driving
privileges for life, Myers said Hayes
has gotten rid of his car and put his
belongings into storage. Myers added
that Hayes said he actually wanted to
lose his licence for the rest of his life.
Judge Garfy. Hunter noted somewhat
wryly, however, that it "doesn't seem to
make much difference (if he loses his
licence), he still drives."
Myers suggested a sentence of six
months in custody. Guthrie however,

Kinloss Twp. A second vehicle, a
1999 Ford pickup truck driven by
Betty Pennington, 60, of South Bruce
was also eastbound. The tractor
pulled out onto the roadway to cross
when it was struck by the pickup.
A third vehicle, a 1989 Ford
Mustang driven by Claudia
Normington, 55, of Lucknow was
westbound. The car struck the tractor
from the opposite direction.
All three drivers were taken to
Wingham and District Hospital by
ambulance where two were treated
for minor injuries and released. The
third person also received minor
injuries and was released later on.
The collision is still under investi-

Assault
A pre-sentence report on a Kitchener
man who pled guity to assault is being
prepared for the Feb. 21 court.
At 9 p.m. July 29, OPP officers were
called to a residence in Fordwich, said
Guthrie.
Steven Ward, 35, and his companion
had been entertaining friends .at a bar-
becue. Guthrie said that Ward, who had
been drinking throughout the day, sent
his own child and the complainant, a
15-year-old youth, to the store.
According to Guthrie, Ward became
upset because the two were gone too
long so went to find them and bring
them back.
An argument occured regarding the
15-year-old's "attitude". There was
some pushing inside and outside the
home, with them ending up in the
youth's bedroom, where Ward punched
him in the lip. The fight was broken up.
But, Guthrie said, "the accused went on
breaking things" in the house. _
Myers said the facts were admitted .
Also, though Ward has a prior convic-
tion for assault going back to 1991,
counsel requested the pre-sentence
report.
