Vancouver — Maui prosecutors have laid three additional charges against B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell in relation to a drunk-driving incident on the Hawaiian island, BCTV reported Monday.

The new charges are considered traffic violations and involve penalties of fines only.

Mr. Campbell was pulled over on Jan. 10 after police noticed he was driving erratically. He performed a number of roadside sobriety tests. He blew .149 in a breathalizer test, nearly double the illegal limit. He was arrested and charged with drunk driving.

The new charges include speeding, failing to drive on the right side of a roadway and disregarding traffic lane markings.

“Given the facts that were brought out in the investigation, it was determined that Mr. Campbell was operating over the speed limit,” deputy prosecutor Mark Simonds told BCTV. “We make an informed decision as to what charges are appropriate and what can be proven in court should a case go to trial.”

As for the drunk driving charge, Mr. Campbell faces a penalty of either a $1,000 (U.S.) fine or five nights in jail. He has a March 25 court date in Maui but it is still not known whether Mr. Campbell will appear himself.
