Drug mule gets eight years prison Calgary man caught with nine kilograms of cocaine at Kingsgate, sentenced in Cranbrook Supreme Court Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

A Calgary man has been sentenced to eight years’ prison for importing cocaine to Canada at the Kingsgate border crossing. Douglas Ernesto Pocasangre was sentenced by Justice Thomas Melnick in Cranbrook Supreme Court on January 17, 2013. The sentencing followed a trial in Cranbrook from November 20 to 26 last year. In making his decision, Justice Melnick explained the circumstances of Pocasangre’s crimes. He was arrested at Kingsgate on March 6, 2010 after border officials discovered a backpack containing nine kilograms of cocaine in a specialized trailer Mr. Pocasangre was bringing over the border.

All the acts are female, as is the entire 19 and over audience. It is always sold out, and always enjoyed greatly by those who attend.

The acts, which can run the gamut from music to comedy to drama, are a secret until the curtain rises. “We like to keep our audience guessing,” Peacosh said. In addition to being an evening of laughs, Lillith Affair has been a great fundraiser for community causes. In the past, the Steppin’ Out Dancers have been able to make major donations to
