Spring joy ride lands Blyth man in jail A spring joyride has landed a Blyth man in jail for 60 days fol- lowing an appearance in Wing- ham's provincial court July 26. Presiding Judge R.G.E. Hunter was told that on March 24 William Watson and a friend took a pickup from a residence, then later returned it. The owner of the truck had not noticed it was gone and only after he was told by another person that he saw the accused driving it, did he learn that it had been taken. Watson pled not guilty to a theft charge with regards to this incident. He did plead guilty, however to a charge of attempting to steal a vehi- cle from a Blyth residence later that same evening. The car's owner found Watson sitting in the front seat of her car, which was parked in her driveway. The crown said she confronted Watson, who said the car belonged to his girlfriend. Defense counsel Phil Cornish said that his client was under the influence of alcohol at the time. He also stressed that Watson had made no move to drive the car. "There was no evidence he was hot wiring it, he was just sitting in the vehicle. There is no evidence to that point that he had taken steps to remove the vehicle from the drive." Watson has been taking some counselling for his alcohol abuse. Though his client does have a YO record, Cornish asked the judge to consider that there had been no charges since Watson becoming an adult. Judge Hunter failed to see the relevancy, however, saying that with several charges as a young offender he "should know better by now". Watson was given 30 days on each count to be served consecu- tively for a total of 60 days. He will also be on probation for 12 months. Man gets probation for driving stolen truck A Guelph man, responsible for transporting a stolen truck to an RR1, Ethel residence last spring was placed on 12 months probation and ordered to complete 100 hours of community service. Jeffrey Brittenden pled guilty in Wingham's provincial court July 26. The Crown told the court that Brittenden had driven a 1989 Chev pickup, valued at $6,000 to Grey Twp. where it was dismantled. Brittenden did not receive parts or any profit from the sale of the parts. The defense said that his 28-year- old client had been out of work for a brief time and was paid gas money to move goods from one place to another. He noted that Brittenden had co-operated fully with police since his arrest and has no previous record. "He realizes that through a friendship he was drawn into some- thing that has tarnished his record," defense concluded. Mitchell woman loses license Judge R.G.E. Hunter was told that on June 14 police were notified of an impaired driver in Cranbrook. After a witness pointed the vehicle out to them, police stopped Karen Michiel, 26.

There is a previous conviction in Wingham court from Feb. 16 for impaired operation of a motor vehi- cle. Defense noted that Michiel rec- ognizes she has a problem and did seek help following the last convic- tion. She was abstinent for a num- ber of months until this past May. After being charged she has again sought treatment from the Perth Addiction Centre and has been not drank since. In addition to a two-year driving prohibition Mieckle was sentenced to 14 days in jail, to be served on Saturdays and Sundays as she is employed full time. Driving while under suspension resulted in a jail term for one man, who appeared in Wingham's provincial court, July 26. Raymond Law was stopped by police while driving in Morris Twp. on Nov. 4. He admitted that his 90 days in jail Man gets fine, license was under suspension at the time. There was also no insurance on the car. Judge R.G.E. Hunter fined Law $500 on the insurance charge and gave him 90 days on the driving charge. Encourage physical activity for all people.
