On Mar. 28, 2012, Bailey was parked off to the side of a Toronto highway to make a phone call shortly after he left a wine tasting event. An officer pulled up behind his vehicle, as he believed the S.U.V. was slightly interfering with the road.
The officer noticed an odour of alcohol and gave Bailey a breathalyzer test, which he failed.
