Counsel: Tonii Roulston
Offence: Possessing Cannabis for Unlawful Distribution (s.9 (2) Cannabis Act), and Did or Offer to Cultivate, Propagate, or Harvest More Than Four Cannabis Plants (s.12 (5) Cannabis Act), and Cause a Child to be in Need of Intervention (s.130 (A) Child, Youth, & Family Enhancement Act)
Result: Withdrawal
Our client was charged with one count of unlawful distribution contrary to s.9 (2) of the Cannabis Act, one count of offering to cultivate, propagate, or harvest more than four cannabis plants contrary to s.12.5 of the Cannabis Act, one count of causing a child to be in need of intervention contrary to s.130 (a) of the Child, Youth, & Family Enhancement Act and one count of causing a child to be drug endangered contrary to s.7 (a) of the Drug Endangered Child Act. The client’s partner was the co-accused and was facing additional charges. Tonii Roulston negotiated with the Crown highlighting the lack of evidence of the client’s involvement in the operation, as she was not a willing party to the operation and did not assist the co-accused. The charges were withdrawn resulting in no conviction or criminal record for the client.
