Timothy Bostwick was charged as part of the undercover drug investigation "Operation Portland" but then took off out west when he was supposed to appear in court.
Bostwick spent two years on the run before returning to Saint John and turning himself in to City Police. He pleaded guilty to six charges, the most serious of which were two of trafficking.
Bostwick wrote a letter to the court in which he claims to have a new outlook on life and is a changed person.
Bostwick told the court he's a working man and disputed those parts of the pre-sentence report which claimed he didn't work for a living.
A two year sentence also handed a 24 year old Saint John man David Andrew Breau for breaking into an apartment and removing a baby's diaper with a steak knife. The baby was not hurt.
