North Kentville man sentenced for trafficking

A North Kentville man will spend the next few months under house arrest after pleading guilty to drug trafficking.

Dominic Thomas Worrall, 22, was handed a conditional sentence order for unlawfully possessing marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. He was also been fined for dangerous driving and failing to comply with an undertaking.

Worrall changed his plea to guilty on the drug trafficking charge in November and was found guilty of the dangerous driving charge and the undertaking offence on Jan. 7.

On Jan. 14, Judge Claudine MacDonald handed Worrall a six-month conditional sentence order that includes house arrest for the first three months, followed by daily curfew from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. The house arrest will be followed by 12 months of probation. The court also imposed a 10-year, six-month firearm prohibition against Worrall and a lifetime prohibition on restricted weapons. Worrall was fined a $200 victim surcharge and the court granted a forfeiture order for items seized in relation to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act charge.

Worrall was fined $260 on the dangerous driving charge and the court imposed a one-year driving prohibition against him. He was fined $65 for the undertaking offence.

Worrall committed the offences in North Kentville on March 19 and July 20, 2014.
