Meductic man sentenced to 3½ years
Court heard Matthew William Harris, 46, spearheaded operation to transport almost nine pounds of crystal meth on commercial flight from British Columbia to Fredericton in 2023
A Meductic man was handcuffed and taken into custody in Fredericton court Thursday after a judge imposed a prison sentence of 3½ years for possession of crystal meth for trafficking purposes.
Matthew William Harris, 46, of Main Street in Meductic, appeared before Fredericton provincial court Judge Lyne Raymond on Thursday afternoon for sentencing, having previously pleaded guilty to possession of crystal methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking.
The Crown and defence had offered a joint recommendation earlier this fall for 42 months in prison, but the official pronouncement of the sentence was delayed on a couple of occasions to give the offender a chance to make arrangements for his dogs before being incarcerated.
