A former B.C. Conservative candidate for North Vancouver who resigned just days into the campaign after being arrested for drunk driving is now facing criminal charges in court.
Lloyd Jeffery Sprague, 38, who briefly represented the Conservatives in the recent provincial election faces three charges, including impaired driving causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing bodily harm, and driving with a blood alcohol level over .08.
All of the charges stem from an incident alleged to have happened at around 3 p.m. April 18 near Sprague's apartment building near the corner of West Second Street and Mahon.
North Vancouver RCMP started their investigation after a citizen called to report a vehicle that had been driven erratically in the neighbourhood, hitting two other cars.
Sprague, who works in private security and fronts a heavy metal tribute band, refused to comment at the time of the incident, as did the Conservative campaign office.
The party quickly deleted Sprague from its website and said only that Sprague quit to deal with what it described as "an unfortunate personal incident.''
Sprague has not yet entered a plea to the charges.
