Red Pheasant First Nation Chief Stewart Baptiste has been fined $750 for driving while disqualified.
He has also lost his driver’s licence for a year.
Baptiste was sentenced today in North Battleford Provincial Court after pleading guilty to the charge.
On July 29th, RCMP spotted a truck travelling at 144 km/h on Highway 4.
They pulled it over and discovered Baptiste was prohibited from driving.
Defence lawyer Eleanore Sunchild says Baptiste was in a hurry to check on his horses.
Baptiste still has another court appearance in December regarding drunk driving charges in the Biggar area.
