Robert McBride Has Been Jailed For Drunk Driving

Former Ekurhuleni metro police chief Robert McBride has been sentenced to two years in prison for drunken driving. As you know, he was found guilty in April for drunken driving and defeating the ends of justice. He crashed his government-allocated car on the R511 near Hartbeespoort Dam in Pretoria.

His lawyer is currently doing what lawyers do best: trying to get his sentence changed to correctional supervision. The State, however, wants him to be sentenced to direct imprisonment.

Things are about to get interesting.
