The impact destroyed one of the school’s walls.
A judge found Robinson was almost three times over the legal blood alcohol limit at the time.
He was sentenced to a year’s probation and ordered to pay $105,000 restitution.
“The Crown and I both had extensive discussions with the insurers about the exact amount, so that’s the amount, that’s what it costs to fix that wall,” said Robinson’s lawyer, Leslie Sullivan.
Sullivan said her client believes drinking and driving was the stupidest thing he’s ever done in his life.
