Gascoyne was alleged to have breached Charter rights of a man by using unreasonable force during a check-stop detention. The man had a penny in his mouth while using the breathalyzer, and Gascoyne choked him in an attempt to force him to spit it out. The Court of Queen's Bench held that the use of force was reasonable and dismissed the appeal.
