A 27-year-old Sackville man has been sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to a series of charges stemming from an interprovincial drug trafficking investigation. 

CHMA was at the Moncton Law Courts for the sentencing on Wednesday. 

Taylor Allen Cole previously pleaded guilty to a series of charges that included possession of cocaine and crystal meth for the purposes of trafficking, and assaulting a man using a shovel. 

His sentencing follows what the RCMP called a “months-long inter-provincial drug trafficking investigation” in March. 

That’s when police announced charges against Cole and seven other people from Sackville, Grande-Digue, Memramcook, and Amherst.

On Wednesday, provincial and federal crown prosecutors went over an agreed statement of facts about the case.
