The accused pled guilty to possessing fentanyl and methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking, and possessing a loaded prohibited firearm while bound by a weapons prohibition.
The court weighed the devastating impact of fentanyl and gun violence against the accused's guilty plea, lack of prior related record, and harsh pre-trial custody conditions.
The court imposed a total sentence of 11 years incarceration, reduced by 1 year and 9 months for pre-sentence custody and lockdown conditions, resulting in 9 years and 3 months going forward.
