A 42-year-old Vancouver man has received a four-year prison sentence after admitting to selling fentanyl and methamphetamine to people in the Downtown Eastside.

Hubick was on probation for property crime at the time of his arrest and was found with $50,000 worth of fentanyl, $16,000 worth of meth, $10,000 in cash and several cellphones. A knife was found in his vehicle.

In his defence, Hubick said that he had lost his job during the COVID-19 pandemic and resorted to dealing drugs to make ends meet.

The judge said that while accepting Hubick’s statement of defence and request the he be granted a conditional sentence not involving incarceration, the impact of fentanyl on B.C.’s opioid drug crisis could not be ignored and “amounted to conduct that demonstrates a reckless disregard for human life.”

“The accused was involved in the trafficking of fentanyl and methamphetamine in the DTES as a mid-range dealer for at least three months, and I infer likely longer. His cellular phone number was attached to some of the packaged drugs, ready to go. At the time of the VPD Project Bankroll investigation, he was not supporting a personal drug addiction. His drug trafficking operation was profit driven.”

If Hubick behaves well in prison, he will be eligible for release in November 2024.
