Matthew St Pierre was arrested for impaired driving last Saturday. Thing is, the vehicle he was driving wasn't his; it is described as belonging to his 'close friend.' So close was this friend that St Pierre had taken the truck without asking his permission. He also seemed to think that the friend would be prepared to take the rap for him - well he must have thought that because when asked for his personal details he used his friend's name. Police were satisfied and St Pierre was released.

Chickens always come home to roost, though, and St Pierre was re-arrested at his workplace. He appeared at a bail hearing Tuesday facing several charges, including: impaired driving; impersonation with intent to gain advantage; attempting to obstruct or resist a peace officer; taking a motor vehicle without consent; driving while under suspension; and driving a motor vehicle with an open container of liquor.

Friends like that, we can do without.
