Offender sentenced to 4 years for trafficking crystal meth and weapons possession, despite immigration consequences.
The offender was convicted of possession of 64.1 grams of crystal methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace.
He was arrested in an apartment stairwell while intoxicated and brandishing a knife.
The Crown sought a 4-year sentence, emphasizing denunciation and deterrence, while the offender sought a sentence under 4.5 months to preserve immigration appeal rights.
The court sentenced the offender to 4 years imprisonment, less 19.5 months credit for pre-sentence custody, finding that his addiction and the circumstances required a sentence long enough to facilitate rehabilitation and protect the public.
