The accused pleaded guilty to 14 offences, including possession of prohibited firearms, possession of prohibited weapons, and possession contrary to a prohibition order.
The offences occurred in a motel room while the accused was highly intoxicated and subject to two weapons prohibition orders.
Despite the accused's genuine commitment to rehabilitation and substance abuse treatment, the court found a conditional sentence order inappropriate due to the gravity of the offences and the accused's related criminal record.
The court imposed a global sentence of 15 months' imprisonment, reduced to 10 months after credit for pre-sentence custody and strict bail conditions, along with a three-year probation order and a lifetime weapons prohibition.
