The former mayor of Prince Albert is also known for his drinking and driving conviction. Cody was arrested March 26,2003,at his house for being suspected of impaired driving. The police did not immediately charge Cody which ultimately led to accusations of a cover up. During the trial,the courts heard that he had been pulled over and two constables took him to the police station for a breath sample. Of note was the sample wasn't taken and he was instead driven to the home of then- police chief John Quinn. [4]
Cody was only charged after police from Regina were called in to investigate. Mr. Cody testified during his trial that he had been drinking that day,but wasn't impaired. As a result,the former chief Quinn and two senior officers were suspended immediately after the case became public,Quinn later resigned. The officers,Staff Sergeant Kelly Liebrecht and Inspector Norm Bergen,each faced a charge of obstruction,as well as a combined 15 charges under the Police Act. [4]
