Doaktown man admits to breathalyzer refusal
Ian Scott Washburn, 53, will be sentenced at end of year for two offences
A Doaktown man whom police suspected last year of being impaired at the wheel will be sentenced just after Christmas after admitting to two offences Tuesday.
Ian Scott Washburn, 53, of Pleasant Street in Doaktown, pleaded guilty in Fredericton provincial court Tuesday to an April 23, 2022, count of refusing a breath demand and a subsequent charge of failing to attend court Aug. 17.
Duty counsel Michael Mallory said Washburn was requesting a pre-sentence report, so Judge Cameron Gunn adjourned his sentencing hearing to Dec. 27 to allow for its preparation.
The judge also imposed a release order barring Washburn from driving until that time.
A charge of driving while impaired was reserved until after sentencing.
