The accused pleaded guilty to two counts of trafficking in fentanyl after selling what he believed was heroin to undercover officers.
The court considered the presence of fentanyl as an aggravating factor but noted the lack of quantitative analysis regarding its concentration.
After applying enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody and harsh lockdown conditions at the Central East Correctional Centre, the accused was sentenced to a further 9 months in custody followed by 2 years of probation.
