“I’m not excusing my actions”: man at centre of bar disturbance issues apology
A man at the centre of a disturbance last month at Bugsy’s Bar and Grill explained to a courtroom Thursday that pressures and stresses, from working on the front lines during COVID-19, contributed to his break down.
Timothy Franc, 26, was facing several charges in relation to the incident at Bugsy’s bar and grill on June 19, 2020, including impaired operation of a motor vehicle, careless use of a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public.
While there was no actual gun in the bar, it’s alleged Franc made a comment to another customer that he had one and offered to show it to them as Franc was leaving the establishment.
On Thursday, Franc appeared at Prince Albert Provincial Court and entered a guilty plea to the impaired driving charge. According to the statement of facts read in court by crown prosecutor Andreanne Dube, the white Dodge truck Franc was driving was pulled over by police near the Tourist Centre parking lot.
