The offender pled guilty to conspiracy to export cannabis, possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possessing proceeds of crime, and breaching a weapons prohibition order.
During his arrest, police used excessive force by unjustifiably tasering him, resulting in a section 7 Charter breach.
The Crown sought a 5-year sentence, while the offender sought a conditional sentence.
The court weighed the gravity of the offences, including the large quantities of drugs and sophisticated conspiracy, against mitigating factors such as the guilty pleas, house arrest bail, and the Charter breach.
The court imposed a global sentence of 4 years imprisonment.
