A pickup truck had left the roadway and broken through a guardrail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The driver fled the scene on foot, heading eastbound past a Port Sydney gas station. Police later identified Hatton through CCTV footage. Evidence of alcohol and marijuana use was found inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officers received additional reports of a man walking along South Mary Lake Road and located Hatton on the roadway. He was identified as the driver and arrested. Breath tests later showed readings of 140 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court heard Hatton has two previous convictions for two impaired-related offences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A joint sentencing submission from the Crown and defence proposed a $2,500 fine and an 18-month driving ban. However, the presiding Justice rejected the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m having a tough time with this one,\u201d the Justice said. \u201cI regard this as being outside of what\u2019s appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guilty plea was ultimately withdrawn, and sentencing has been rescheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 40-year-old Port Sydney man has pleaded guilty to impaired-driving-related charges following a crash on Highway 11.
