The offender was convicted of conspiracy to traffic cocaine.
The Crown sought an 18-month conditional sentence, while the defence sought a suspended sentence and probation.
The court considered the offender's lack of a criminal record, gainful employment, family support, and experiences with anti-Black racism as mitigating factors.
Balancing these against the gravity of the offence and the need for denunciation and deterrence, the court imposed an 18-month conditional sentence with house arrest and curfew conditions, along with ancillary orders.
