Ryan David Patrick sentenced to a further six months and two weeks for trafficking in fentanyl and cocaine and for weapons offences

A judge has recommended a man who pleaded guilty to trafficking and weapons offences committed in Vancouver serve the remainder of his sentence at the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre.

Patrick was sentenced to two years for dealing in fentanyl, as well as concurrent terms of 18 months for trafficking in cocaine and six months for possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Less credit for time served, Patrick had six months and two weeks to go as of sentencing. In an array of plastic bags, as well as a jar and a pop tin, they found nearly 50 grams of cocaine, nearly 30 grams of methamphetamine and mixtures of fentanyl, methamphetamine and Etizolam adding up to 9.5 grams. Two scales, hundreds of small zip lock baggies, a grinder and cutting agents were also uncovered.Patrick pleaded guilty to the three counts in July 2022 and charges against co-accused Sandra Lorrain Sloan were stayed in December 2022.

Harris also found Patrick's pre-sentence report and the psychological assessment "confirms his substance misuse is the primary driver to his criminal conduct."
