The accused pleaded guilty to two counts of trafficking fentanyl.
The charges arose after undercover purchases of heroin were analyzed and found to contain an unknown amount of fentanyl.
The court considered the serious nature of fentanyl trafficking, the lack of quantitative analysis of fentanyl concentration, and the accused's health challenges including Hepatitis C. The court imposed a sentence of two years less a day to be served at the Ontario Correctional Institute, followed by two years probation, balancing deterrence and denunciation with rehabilitative prospects.
