Solomon Abraham was sentenced to 12 months of house arrest after pleading guilty Wednesday.
Abraham, 22, will be under strict supervision while serving the first 10 months of his sentence under home confinement, but will see some of those conditions relaxed in the final two months of his sentence, when he will be under curfew.Ontario Court Justice Mitch Hoffman accepted Abraham’s guilty plea and imposed several other restrictions, including a 15-year weapons ban and an order to submit his blood sample to a national DNA databank.
Abraham was put under surveillance and was “observed engaging in behaviour consistent with drug trafficking,” an outline of the case said. Abraham suffered minor cuts when he was dragged from the car after initially refusing to comply with police, according to the statement of facts read in court.Article content
Hoffman said the amount of cocaine was “significant in terms of a street level trafficker,” while noting Abraham was “at the lowest level of the criminal drug enterprise.” “He realizes he’s in a serious legal predicament, and he doesn’t want to make it worse,” Addelman said.
