Dope dealer banned from Iqaluit

Mark Edwards, 21, received a three-month conditional sentence after pleading guilty to possessing 1.4 kilograms — just over three pounds — of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

Once Edwards’s three month sentence is served, he’s banned from visiting or living in Iqaluit for one year.

The conviction follows a drug bust at the Iqaluit airport on November 2, 2001.

RCMP officers in V Division’s drug section seized drugs worth an estimated $50,000 from a third party who was not named in court.

The third party, a 15-year-old boy, received a one-year suspended sentence after pleading guilty to drug possession earlier this year.

Police arrested Edwards after a tip from the teen, said Crown lawyer Michel Bertrand.

Edwards is already living in Ottawa and wants to pursue a career in refrigerator repair.
