Five years in prison for Memramcook man described as ‘drug mule’
Jesse Perry-Belliveau, 32, of Memramcook, was sentenced to five years in federal prison, minus 72 days in remand, when he appeared in provincial court in custody by video on Feb. 6. He pleaded guilty to three charges for an incident at Wotstak (Woodstock First Nation) when he was apprehended transporting drugs to Moncton.
Perry-Belliveau was charged by RCMP with resisting arrest, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of Dilaudid, both for the purpose of trafficking.
Judge Nicole Angers described the accused as a “trusted drug mule” nabbed by police after he exited his vehicle near Woodstock because he thought he was overdosing on drugs or having a panic attack and needed to go to hospital.
In addition to his prison sentence, the judge ordered Perry-Belliveau to register with the federal DNA database and prohibited him from possessing firearms. All drugs and items seized by police were forfeited to the crown.
“You have amassed quite a criminal record,” Judge Angers told the accused. “Hopefully, you will make better choices in the future.”
On June 8, 2022, at approximately 10:15 p.m., RCMP responded to a report of a possible impaired driver at Wotstak. Perry-Belliveau pulled into a parking lot on Turtle Lane and exited the vehicle due to medical distress. He said he was looking for a hospital. An ambulance was called, and the driver was treated by paramedics at the scene.
Once cleared by paramedics, police attempted to detain the man, who then fled from police. Following a short pursuit on foot, he was tasered and arrested for impaired driving.
During a search of the vehicle, police seized over six kilograms of crystal meth, 2,000 Dilaudid pills, a set of scales, and $2,035 in cash.
Perry-Belliveau had a prior criminal record, including a previous conviction for drug trafficking in 2011. He also served prison time for manslaughter, robbery, threats and weapons offences.
Defence Counsel Lindsay Paul told the court Perry-Belliveau had been using drugs and alcohol since a young age and was addicted to crystal meth for the past two years. She said he was involved in the drug trade to feed his addiction and wanted to undergo drug counselling while incarcerated.
