The man registered a ‘fail’ and was arrested.

The suspect was transported to the police station, where he allegedly refused to provide a breath sample.

He’s also accused of providing a false name and date of birth.

Officers figured out the man’s real identity and checked their database.

It turns out he’s prohibited from driving for life, Canada-wide, for impaired driving and failing to provide a breath sample.

There were also two outstanding arrest warrants from two other provinces.

Randolph Laplante was held for bail on the following charges: refuse to provide breath sample; obstruct police; two counts of driving while disqualified; possession of a controlled substance.

The vehicle – which doesn’t belong to the man – was impounded for 45 days.
