A woman in Sherbrooke who was stopped after curfew with her partner on a leash told officers she was walking her pet.
The couple were spotted by Sherbrooke police at 9 p.m. on Saturday, one hour after Quebec’s province-wide 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew had just come into effect.
The couple were walking on the sidewalk, headed toward downtown, with the man on a leash.
Advised that they were breaking regulations and could be subjected to fines of more than $1,500 each, the couple “did not collaborate at all,” police spokesperson Isabelle Gendron said.
“One of them had the other on a leash, and she said she was taking her dog, pointing to her partner, out on a walk, as allowed under the exceptions provided by Quebec’s premier under its curfew law.”
