GUILDERLAND — A Troy man was sentenced to one year in Albany County’s jail on Friday for driving with a suspended license due to an alcohol-related offense.

Cameron Gardner, 26, was stopped by Guilderland Police on Jan. 23 for having an expired registration sticker, and a check showed that his license was suspended for an alcohol-related offense, according to a release from the Albany County District Attorney’s Office.

Gardner was supposed to be driving with an ignition interlock device in his car, but, at the time he was stopped, did not have one.

He pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a felony, and circumvention of interlock ignition device, a misdemeanor, on March 26.

Gardner was sentenced last week by Judge Peter A. Lynch in Albany County Court and Assistant District Attorney David Szalda, of the Vehicular Crimes Unit, prosecuted the case.
