Vancouver -- A Burnaby man who had his driver's licence stripped for a decade after he struck and killed a pedestrian in 2000 was denied bail yesterday in connection with more driving-related charges.
Kwok Kei Tang, or Cliff Tang, appeared in Richmond Provincial Court yesterday to face charges of obstruction and driving while prohibited.
Mr. Tang was stopped by Richmond RCMP last week for allegedly driving a vehicle without a front licence plate. When questioned by officers, Mr. Tang allegedly gave a false name and address, police said. He was arrested and taken into custody.
The 32-year-old man, dressed in red prison-issued shirt and pants, looked out from the prisoner's box, raised his eyebrows and glanced at his sister, Mei Tang, and his girlfriend who sat in the front row of the courtroom.
