flag Je Vang, 49, sentenced to 5.5 years for fentanyl trafficking after fleeing before trial.

flag Je Vang, 49, of Kitchener, was sentenced to 5.5 years in prison for possessing fentanyl for trafficking after evading authorities for nearly three years following his failure to appear for a trial in Sarnia, Ontario. flag He was arrested in April 2021 with his wife, Thao Cha, during a search that uncovered drugs and a sword in their stolen vehicle; Cha was later acquitted. flag Vang, who had been released on bail but fled before his trial, was arrested on unrelated charges in Kitchener-Waterloo and pleaded guilty via video. flag Justice Jason Howie imposed the sentence, aligning with both sides' recommendations, and urged him to seek treatment, citing a prior drug conviction and history of non-compliance with rehabilitation orders. flag The prosecution said a trial conviction could have resulted in up to 7.5 years.
