The accused pled guilty to trafficking 0.24 grams of crack cocaine to an undercover police officer for $60.00.
At the time of the offence, the accused was 18 years old with no criminal record.
He had been on bail with an 11 pm to 6 am curfew for nearly two years, breaching it once.
The Crown sought 90 days intermittent custody followed by probation, while the defence sought a non-custodial sentence.
The court imposed a suspended sentence with 18 months' probation, considering the accused's youth, lack of record, single instance of trafficking a minimal quantity, positive rehabilitation efforts, and community service.
