She also entered guilty pleas to seven other charges under the criminal code and controlled drugs and substances act.

Flanagan pleaded guilty to charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl and possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine. He also admitted to possessing a prohibited weapon while knowing possession is unauthorized.

Pellerin was sentenced to six years in prison minus time served, while Flanagan received a five-year sentence minus time served. Both are also prohibited from owning weapons for life.

Police said the charges stem from a series of drug trafficking investigations by the RCMP Provincial Crime Reduction Unit, Codiac Regional RCMP and Shediac RCMP.
