The offender was sentenced to 4.5 years imprisonment for possessing significant quantities of fentanyl and methamphetamines for the purpose of trafficking.
Jake Hillier pleaded guilty to possession for the purpose of trafficking in methamphetamines and fentanyl.
The Crown sought a 5.5-year jail sentence, while the defence sought 3 years.
The court considered aggravating factors including the significant quantity of powdered fentanyl (28.1g), the presence of other drugs (methamphetamines, cocaine), weapons, the offender's mid-level commercial trafficking motivation, and his criminal record.
Mitigating factors included the early guilty plea, remorse, family support, work ethic, and limited drug use problem.
The court also applied pre-sentence custody credit (Summers and Duncan credit).
The judge imposed a global sentence of 4.5 years imprisonment, with 12 months for methamphetamines to be served concurrently, emphasizing deterrence and denunciation for fentanyl trafficking while also considering rehabilitation.
