Here's his original arrest thread
Quote:
A Quebec man will spend a year in prison after Border Patrol agents say they caught him dragging a sled loaded with prescription medication into Vermont earlier this year, according to court documents.
Cedrik Bourgault-Morin, 22, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Christina Reiss on Monday in Burlington. Reiss ordered the man to spend 12 months and one day in prison followed by a year on supervised release.
Bourgault-Morin had pleaded guilty in May to one charge of possessing a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
Bourgault-Morin's lawyer, David McColgin, declined to comment on the sentence when reached by email Monday. An attempt to reach U.S. Attorney Eric Miller after business hours was unsuccessful.
Bourgault-Morin was wearing winter camouflage clothing when he trudged across the U.S. border from Canada to Vermont in January while pulling a sled that carried nearly 200 pounds of alprazolam, an anti-anxiety medication commonly known by the brand name Xanax. The drugs were worth about $1.6 million, court papers state.
Bourgault-Morin was arrested after agents found a duffel bag on the sled that weighed 182 pounds and contained 300 vacuum-sealed bags of the depressants, which are a federal controlled substance, according to court papers.
 A Border Patrol agents works along the boundary marker cut into the forest between Canadian territory on the right and Vermont on the left.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Ophardt wrote in court papers that the circumstances of the offense "indicate he had the assistance of co-conspirators on the Canadian side of the border, and he was anticipating assistance of co-conspirators on the American side of the border."
Footprints and sled tracks led south from the border toward North Troy. The suspect, who spoke no English, was arrested on suspicion of illegally entering the United States. Court papers said he had no connections to Vermont.
Bourgault-Morin is jailed at the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans Town, a state offender location database showed Monday.

While I am not interested in using or distributing pharms, taxed-and-regulated is not at all the same thing as decriminalized, even when your govt is subsidizing it.

Mivht be the first time I've ever seen "good" and "xanax" without "no" in between them.
Although i agree, but I've literally never seen someone call xanax good before.

He's been watching too much Ricky and Julian.
Why did he pull a sleigh so big and not make a couple of backpack runs.

Cool border crossing. Kinda reminds me of trailer park boys when they had a toy train smuggle weed across the border

Only one year.... Why aren't more Canadians doing this? Imagine if you got caught trying to bring them in from Mexico... You'd never see this dude again... Crazy

I look at this young man and think, what the hell does he look like carrying a sleigh and how did he come up with this shit idea? Looking at the picture, not to rag on the guy, he was probably easily convinced. Canada. Can't speak English. Should of dressed as Santa.
I have no clue about there legal system. Can he get probation or in Canada does he get the full year?

That would kill me, if he had a big bag slung over his back like santa claus.
