Benjamin Monty Robinson will not spend any time behind bars after being convicted of obstructing justice in a fatal road traffic accident.
Robinson who was the officer in charge of the now infamous Dziekanski incident at YVR in 2007 was sentenced at the B.C. Supreme Court to a 12-month conditional term.
One month of that sentence will be served at home and the rest of the term to be supervised by a probation officer.
The 42-year-old was convicted last March of obstruction of justice for trying to block a potential impaired driving investigation after he hit and killed 21-year-old motorcyclist Orion Hutchinson in Delta.
Robinson admitted to the October 2008 crash but said he left the scene to down two quick shots of vodka at his nearby home before returning to speak to police.
The judge found Robinson used his RCMP training to hide the fact that he had consumed five beers shortly before the collision.
Robinson was discharged from the Mounties last week, but still faces perjury charges stemming from testimony he and three other Mounties gave about the October 2007 death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski, who was repeatedly stunned by a Taser at Vancouver's airport.
