A Peterborough man found himself in court after getting his car stuck in a snowbank in Huntsville.
Appearing In Bracebridge court, Allan Wellman, 33, of Peterborough, pled guilty to driving with over 80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood.
Court heard that on Feb. 11, 2024, at roughly 1 a.m., Huntsville OPP received a call from a homeover on Old Novar Road. The caller reported a man had come to his door requesting help to get his vehicle unstuck from a snowbank.

Wellman was sentenced to a $2,000 fine and a 12-month driving ban.
