A 59-year-old Burnaby father of two who held cocaine, heroin and morphine in his family home for a dial-a-dope line was sentenced to a year of house arrest, a year of curfew and 100 hours of community service last week.
Investigators found nearly $17,000 in cash, numerous cell phones, an electronic scale with methamphetamine residue, packaging materials and packaged cocaine, heroin and morphine with a street value of nearly $17,500, according to Sutherland. He didn't regard trafficking as a "big risk" even though he had been convicted and served a one-year conditional sentence for it before, in 2002, according to a presentence report.
