Shooting-out a photo radar box has landed a Lethbridge man in prison for three years.

Last February, Adolph Reimer was caught by photo radar going 111 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

Not wanting police to find out his license was suspended, Reimer tried to disable the radar box by shooting at it with a rifle narrowly missing a boy in a passing car in the process.
