The offender was convicted of trafficking in cocaine and conspiracy to traffic in cocaine.
He acted as upper management in a commercial cocaine trafficking conspiracy that purchased cocaine at the kilogram level and sold it at the quarter-kilogram level and below.
The Crown sought 4-5 years imprisonment, while the defence sought a conditional sentence of two years less a day.
The court found that a conditional sentence was inappropriate given the scale of the operation and the need for denunciation and deterrence.
The offender was sentenced to 3 years in the penitentiary for conspiracy and 2.5 years concurrent for trafficking.
