Two Prince George drug enforcers will be serving hard time after being convicted of kidnapping and torturing a man who owed them money.
Odessa Nicki Marchand was sentenced to seven years and three months in jail for kidnapping without a firearm. Marchand was also sentenced to three years and three months in jail for unlawful confinement and one day for assault causing bodily harm.
Carlin Wayne Sponagle was sentenced to five years and three months for kidnapping without a firearm, 15 months for unlawful confinement, three months for extortion and one day for assault causing bodily harm.
According to court documents the victim, who can't be identified due to a court publication ban, was kidnapped from a local gas station and held in a house in the 2200 block of Victoria Street for five days sometime between March 30 and April 8.
Marchand had given the victim $200 and a large quantity of cocaine to keep safe in his vehicle. After consuming the cocaine Marchand had given him in payment, the victim smoked the drugs he'd been given to hold over two days.
During his confinement, the victim was kicked, punched, burned with a hot crack pipe, stripped and bound with packing tape, urinated on and then doused with laundry detergent that burned his eyes when allowed to take a shower.
Last year Steve Marazoff was sentenced to seven years and 11 months in jail for hitting the victim with a golf club, pulling him out of a chair with a rope tied around his neck, putting a lighter to spray from an aerosol can and singing him, carving initials into his back with a utility blade, lifting him up by his penis while he was laying on the ground and sodomizing him with a toothbrush and a hand wearing a rubber glove.
Marchand and Sponagle, along with Amanda Hanschen who was sentenced previously, plead guilty to their role in the kidnapping - but disputed the facts of the case presented by the prosecution.
Tyler Coe, who died of an overdose before the trial, and a sixth person the victim couldn't identify were also involved in the kidnapping.
