 Mark Nowakowski, president of the Fallen Saints MC | Smith pleaded guilty to fentanyl, heroin and cocaine trafficking during the second day of what was scheduled to be a 10-day trial. He then entered guilty pleas to unauthorized transfer of a handgun, unlawful possession of a handgun for the purpose of trafficking and conspiring with a police agent to traffic cocaine. On Thursday, Smith pleaded guilty to committing an offence for the benefit of a criminal organization.
The longest sentence Smith received was 15 years for fentanyl trafficking. He was sentenced to eight years for cocaine trafficking and four years for each weapons trafficking offence. Each criminal organization charge tacked on an additional two years. The total sentence equals 35 years, but the judge applied the totality principle to bring the sentence down to 18 years. |
