Inmate sentenced for possession of fentanyl, meth

court

A former inmate at the Drumheller Institution had four months tacked on to his sentence after pleading guilty to possession of fentanyl and methamphetamine in court on November 9.

Chauncy Lacasse was a serving inmate at the Drumheller Institution on June 8 of this year when corrections officers noticed him in his cell cutting a white powder. His cell was searched, revealing the drugs.

Defense for Lacasse, Hugh Somerville told the court the drugs were for his personal use.

Judge Pahl sentenced Laccase to four months for the possession of fentanyl and two months for the possession of methamphetamine. These sentenced are concurrent to each other but consecutive to the time he is already serving.
