B.C. man sentenced to 11 years for cocaine, fentanyl trafficking

B.C. man has been sentenced to 11 years for cocaine, fentanyl trafficking. Jason Thomas Howard Conrad was arrested in 2023 with a shopping bag full of fentanyl, and a large amount of cocaine and cash were also found in his Tesla.

According to police, they received a tip in January 2023 that fentanyl was being made at a home on McLeod Court in Richmond. In February, Conrad was seen entering the home empty-handed and returning carrying a backpack that appeared to be full and heavy.

When he left the home again in March, he was taken into custody and found 15.6 kilograms of fentanyl in his shopping bag. A search of his car turned up $47,800 in cash and two kilos of pure cocaine.

Conrad was charged and taken to prison about a year after his arrest, and was still in prison when he was sentenced. He now has about nine years left in his sentence.
