The offender was convicted by a jury of robbery, uttering death threats, extortion, and using an imitation firearm.
The offences involved a prolonged period of terrorizing a vulnerable victim over an alleged debt owed by her sister.
The court weighed the offender's extensive criminal record and the profound impact on the victim against his recent rehabilitative efforts in custody.
A global sentence of 4 years and 8 months was imposed, including a consecutive 2-year sentence for the imitation firearm offence, less credit for pre-sentence custody.
The court also ordered a lifetime weapons prohibition, a DNA sample, a non-communication order, and $900 in restitution.
