‘I was treated like a dog’ - impaired driver
Steven Edward Anderson, 56, of Quispamsis, claims Mounties disregarded his medical condition but admits he blew over legal limit last year after being pulled over for speeding
A Quispamsis man who admitted to driving with an elevated blood-alcohol level told a court Monday police officers bullied him and wouldn’t listen when he said he suffered from multiple sclerosis.
Steven Edward Anderson, 56, of Vincent Road, previously pleaded not guilty to a charge of having an elevated blood-alcohol level within two hours of driving, but he was back in Fredericton provincial court Monday to change his plea to guilty.
Crown prosecutor Daniel Standing said the offence occurred the afternoon of April 9.
Anderson came to the attention of police that afternoon when an RCMP officer noted a grey Nissan Rogue passing his cruiser at a speed of 161 kilometres per hour in a 110 km/hour zone on Highway 2 in Lincoln.
