A Kentucky man could face a fine of up to 750-thousand-dollars or six months in jail for allegedly violating a quarantine order in Banff in late June.
John Pennington was initially given a 12-hundred dollar ticket on June 25th after staff at a Banff hotel called the RCMP saying they believed the American citizen was violating the Alberta Public Health Act during the COVID-19 pandemic.
R-C-M-P Corporal Tammy Keibel says officers received a call the next day about a car with American plates at a gondola parking lot.
