Doing a vehicle search, police seized 25 oxycodone pills, 23 grams of cocaine and $1,485.
Court of Appeal Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein said Tenzin Jamyang Garie sold cocaine and oxycodone to Surrey undercover police officers in a dial‑a‑dope drug‑trafficking operation on four separate occasions.
It was an undercover officer who spoke with a person named “Gino,” later identified as Garie, and set up a meeting to buy drugs at Elements Casino in Surrey. On Sept. 13, the officer purchased 3.5 grams of cocaine for $220 at the same location. Garie arrived in a different Nissan Sentra and had a bag of drugs between his legs.
On appeal, Garie sought a suspended sentence or intermittent sentence. He cited the shifting legal landscape following the release of a Nov. 4 Supreme Court of Canada decision on conditional sentences.
