Drunk driver more than four times over limit
Rhys Paul Thomas, 32, of Fredericton, now seeking treatment for substance-abuse issue
A Fredericton man was all over the road at the wheel of an SUV last fall, court heard this week, and police soon discovered he had more than quadruple the legal limit of booze in his system.
Rhys Paul Thomas, 32, of Biggs Street, pleaded guilty in Fredericton provincial court Monday to a Nov. 23 charge of having an elevated blood-alcohol level within two hours of driving.
Crown prosecutor Monika Berenyi said the Fredericton police received a call just before 8 p.m. that night about a white SUV that was “all over the road.”
The witness who alerted police to the situation reported the SUV crossed the centre line of the road multiple times, she said.
