Kamloops, B.C. Mountie Handed Conditional Discharge Over Cocaine Buys Won't Have Record

The Canadian Press, 20 Jan, 2017 12:03 PM
    KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A former Mountie from the Kamloops, B.C., detachment will not be serving any jail time after pleading guilty to buying cocaine on three separate occasions.
     
    Randi Love was handed a conditional discharge after she was initially charged with three counts of trafficking.
     
    Forty-one-year-old Love was placed on 12 months probation and will have to serve 50 hours of community service within the first five months.
     
    She pleaded guilty last week to a single count of possession, telling a judge she knows she made a mistake but that she'd faced significant hurdles over the last five years.
     
    The Crown was seeking a suspended sentence but the judge sided with the defence request for a conditional discharge.
     
    That means she will not have a criminal record if complies with the judge's order.
