Twenty-four-year-old Joseph Roshinsky faces two Crown charges in connection with his arrest in Grand Forks last November: One count of impaired operation of a vehicle, another for operating a vehicle with over 0.08 per cent blood/alcohol content, according to court documents.

Roshinsky did not appear in court last Tuesday, but submitted not guilty pleas through his lawyer.

Judge Robert Brown ordered Roshinsky to re-appear at the city courthouse on Tuesday, April 6, when the court will fix a date for his trial.
