Carleton Taylor pleaded guilty to being a party to a robbery involving the kidnapping of the victim, Reth Tork, and the fraudulent use of his debit card.
While Taylor's role was peripheral to the violent aspects, he participated for financial gain.
The Crown sought a 4-year custodial sentence, and the defense sought 2 years.
The court considered Taylor's significant criminal record, lack of pro-social initiatives, and the victim's impact statement, balanced against his guilty plea and positive family relationships.
The court sentenced Taylor to 3 years in custody, followed by 2 years' probation, with credit for 476 days of pre-trial custody.
Ancillary orders for DNA and a 10-year firearms prohibition were also imposed.
