Man cleared on two impaired driving charges after Rolaids aid
A 26 year old city man Robert Henry Leentvaar of Maple Ave S E had two impaired driving charges dismissed in provincial court judge Dietrich Brand ruled the breath samples could reflect stomach alcohol from a Rolaids tablet rather than intoxication. The Crown may appeal though witnesses noted prior beer consumption and a yellow light crossing.
