The accused pleaded guilty to trafficking in heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl as part of a four-month RCMP investigation into drug trafficking in Ontario.
Over three transactions between May and July 2019, the accused sold significant quantities of drugs to an undercover police agent for approximately $100,400 in total, receiving only a nominal amount in the low thousands of dollars for his role.
The court imposed a global sentence of 9 years in the penitentiary, reduced to 8 years after pre-trial custody credit on a 1.5:1 basis.
The court rejected the defence request for additional credit for harsh lockdown conditions during pre-trial custody.
