Impaired driver gets 30 days in jail

Jan 18, 2017 | 5:00 AM

A Prince Albert woman guilty of impaired driving will be spending her next few weekends behind bars.

Krystle Janet Sundara, 33, was charged with impaired driving after an incident which dates back to December of 2015.

Court heard Sundara was initially pulled over outside Rosthern for speeding. She was driving 133 km/h in a 110 km/h zone, court heard, and the arresting officer noted her speech was slurred and her eyes were red and glassy. She later failed both roadside sobriety and breathalyzer tests, blowing over the legal limit twice.

Sundara pleaded guilty to the charge.

“I’m really sorry for everything that I’ve done,” she said before her sentence was handed down and added she wanted to put the whole incident behind her.

Yesterday Provincial Court Judge Earl Kalenith accepted a joint recommendation by the Crown and defence and sentenced Sundara to 30 days of intermittent jail time. Her sentence is to be served at Pine Grove Correctional Centre between Friday nights and Monday mornings.

Kalenith said the sentence was appropriate and well within the normal range for impaired driving.

He also imposed three months’ probation with a condition barring Sundara from consuming alcohol, a two-year driving prohibition and a $100 victim surcharge. A provincial driving disqualification will also likely apply, Kalenith said.
