Gatineau Police said the 39-year-old was arrested shortly after 1:30 p.m. Monday after an officer saw a man sitting in the driver’s seat of a car parked on Riviera Street in Gatineau. It was the second time the officer had cruised past the vehicle, but this time the officer stopped for a look, detected a strong smell of alcohol, and decided to give the occupant a breath test, which, according to police, he failed. He also failed a similar test at the police station after being taken into custody. Police also found a knife in the car. Police said Brazeau had given a previous undertaking not to possess any weapon capable of cutting.
Because police believed he had broken a previous undertaking, they asked a justice of the peace to authorize them to keep him in jail overnight. Brazeau spent the night at the Hull Detention Centre. Brazeau faces a variety of charges, including being impaired while in control of a vehicle, operating a vehicle while having an alcohol level of more than 80 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood, and breach of conditions on a previous charge. His car has now been impounded for 30 days and his driver’s licence is suspended for 90 days. He is scheduled to appear in Quebec Court in Gatineau Tuesday. Last week, Brazeau, who was named to the Senate in 2009, heard that he would stand trial for sexual assault and assault in late March 2015. That case, stemming from a February 2013 incident, is what led to the former Conservative’s ouster from the party caucus.
