A Sudbury man will be able to visit his mother in
hospital even though he pleaded guilty Friday to breaching a
probation order to stay away from her.
David Popescu, 58, has been an unsuccessful candidate for political office in Greater Sudbury.
He runs on a platform of Bible study. Because his mother will be undergoing surgery Tuesday, his sister has been added to a list of people who must be in attendance when Popescu visits the woman. In 2003, Popescu was found guilty of assaulting his mother and his sentence included three years of probation where he’s can't visit her alone. Court heard Friday Popescu visited his mother alone last summer which prompted his sister to phone police.
