Trafficking cocaine and marijuana has led to a stiff sentence for an Estevan man.
Terrance Neill was sentenced to 40 months in jail May 5 after pleading guilty to a number of charges resulting from a pair of drug busts by the Estevan Police Service and will serve 30 months in prison.
In 2008, as a result of Operation Cutter, Neill was charged with trafficking marijuana in an amount not exceeding three kilograms. He received a 16-month sentence but was given a credit of 10 months for the five months he spent in the Regina Provincial Correctional Centre.
Neill was also nabbed in Operation Flon which saw 24 Estevan residents arrested on a variety of possession and trafficking charges in December 2009. Neill was charged with two counts of trafficking cocaine, two counts of breaching an undertaking and one count of being in possession of the proceeds of crime.
He received 24 months on each trafficking charge which will be served concurrently to each other. He was also sentenced to one month for each count of breaching an undertaking and another month for the proceeds of crime charge. Those three sentences will be served concurrently to the trafficking sentence.
