The young person pleaded guilty to possession of a loaded prohibited firearm, possession of a firearm while prohibited, and possession of crack cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
The Crown sought a custodial sentence, while the defence sought an Intensive Support and Supervision program order.
The court found that the offences constituted an exceptional case under s. 39(1)(d) of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, making a custodial sentence available and appropriate.
The young person was sentenced to a total of 390 days of custody and community supervision, followed by 18 months of probation.
