A South Okanagan man will be going to jail for drug offences.

Blair Thompson, a 23-year-old Oliver resident, has plead guilty to charges of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

Corporal Brad Myhre says Thompson was out on bail when he was arrested Tuesday on South Main Street in Penticton.

“He was on bail and probation for numerous previous offences at this time. Less than 24 hours later, he was sentenced to 9 ½ months in jail after pleading guilty to numerous offences,” says Myhre.
