A Tees-area woman whose farming husband was sentenced in a high-profile case has now picked up a criminal record herself.
Trina Dianne Knight, 31, has been fined $1,200 for failing to provide a breath sample to police near Alix last June 20.
She was sentenced last Thursday in Stettler Provincial Court.
The woman’s husband, Brian Knight, was sentenced last year to 90 days in jail after being convicted of criminal negligence causing bodily harm for using a 12-gauge shotgun to shoot at an intruder on his farm in March 2009.
Last July, Brian Knight won an appeal for shooting at the would be thief.
Last week in Stettler, Judge Harry D. Gaede reprimanded Trina Knight.
“An aggravating part was that you were impaired in the presence of your children,” the judge said.
Police reported that she was swerving her mini-van.
Last week, Trina Knight was also suspended from driving for one year.
