While most Quebecers seem to be taking the month-long 8:00 pm curfew in stride, a couple in Sherbrooke, Quebec devised a unique way to get around the restrictions.
According to a tweet from CTV Montreal reporter Kelly Greig, a woman and her husband were each fined $1,500 after she was caught walking her husband on a leash to flout the curfew (those with dogs are allowed to walk them after 8:00 pm).
News from Quebec:
I just confirmed with Sherbrooke police that a husband and wife were fined for walking after curfew with the man on a leash. The officer told me her defense was she is allowed to walk a dog after curfew.
