Afor Beckley Okegberu, 54, was charged with drunk driving after police got reports of a car on Highway 1 in Burnaby 'swerving across lanes of traffic with no lights on' just before midnight.
A man charged with drunk driving in Burnaby last fall has been sentenced to one year of probation, a one-year driving ban and $1,150 in fines after pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.
“The complainant reported that the vehicle was moving slow and unable to maintain its lane,” Crown prosecutor Louise Gauld told the court. Gauld noted Okegberu didn’t have a criminal record but had been banned from driving before for impaired-driving-related offences: a 90-day ban for refusing to provide a sample in 2020 and a three-day immediate roadside prohibition in 2021.
