The offender was convicted of possessing 486 grams of heroin for the purpose of trafficking after accepting a controlled delivery package.
The offender acted as a low-level conduit or 'mule' for financial gain while also participating in fraudulent schemes.
The court weighed the highly addictive nature of heroin and the profit motive as aggravating factors against the offender's lack of a prior criminal record.
A global sentence of four years was imposed, reduced to 22 months of further custody after applying enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody.
