An Alberta resident who was arrested and charged with drug offences in Fort Resolution last November has been sentenced to 19 months in jail, the RCMP stated on Aug. 23.
Abel Leule, whose final appearance in court on this matter was Aug. 9, was also given a 20-year firearms prohibition and three years of probation with a condition that he must remain outside of the Northwest Territories.
"This outcome is a positive one, highlighting the excellent police-work and collaboration of G Division detachments," the police stated. "Fort Resolution RCMP would like to express their thanks to members of the public that provided information leading to the arrest and ultimately the conviction of Leule, sending a clear message that drug dealers are not welcome in the community."
