The offender was convicted of possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking, along with possession of other controlled substances and stolen property.
The court weighed the offender's significant criminal record and the extreme danger of fentanyl against mitigating factors including guilty pleas to some offences, family support, and rehabilitative efforts in custody.
The court imposed a global sentence of 4 years' incarceration, less credit for pre-sentence custody, emphasizing denunciation and deterrence.
