The offender was found guilty by a jury of possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking, simple possession of psilocybin, and possession of a prohibited weapon.
The Crown sought a sentence of five to six years, while the offender sought a conditional sentence.
The court considered the offender's role as the primary caregiver for his two young daughters as a mitigating factor, but noted the serious nature of trafficking 202 grams of methamphetamine from a residence where children were present.
The court rejected a conditional sentence due to the statutory bar for sentences over two years and the need for denunciation and deterrence.
The offender was sentenced to four years' imprisonment for the trafficking charge, with concurrent sentences for the other offences.
