In early December, South Frontenac building inspector Christa Johnson was arrested in Kingston and charged with an alcohol blood reading over the legal limit (100 mg/100ml). In late January she was convicted, fined $1,000 and prohibited from driving for one year. Pointing out that Johnston had no prior record, defense lawyer Patricia Knox-Leet said, “She is one of the most remorseful and chastened people I have ever dealt with.”
Township CAO Orr refused comment regarding Johnson’s ability to carry out her duties under the circumstances, saying that he is unable to publicly discuss personnel matters while the Township is “following due process, working within the confines of the collective agreement. There is no pre-determined outcome.”
There are two other members of the township building department: recently apppointed Chief Building Official Ryan Arcand and building inspector Tom Berriault.
