A Nova Scotia provincial court judge has sentenced a British Columbia man to 11½ years in prison for his part in a cocaine smuggling scheme.
Peter Darcy Bailey, 49, was convicted of four charges following a trial in September. Judge Elizabeth Buckle s written sentencing decision was released this week.
In her sentencing decision, Buckle said the drugs had a wholesale purchase price of about $1 million. She said the street value of the drugs if they d been sold in Canada would have been between $6 million and $8 million.
