A former Alberta woman was sentenced Wednesday to 18 months probation after pleading guilty to four charges related to a discovery of drugs and weapons in a South Fort George home this summer.
Dana Louise Funk, 24, must also serve six more days in custody before she's released on conditions that include getting counselling for drug addiction.
Funk and two men - Charles Dalton Darling, 48, and Jason Paul Mathany, 31 - were arrested June 6 after police were called to a complaint of yelling and screaming in the basement suite of a 2200-block Royal Crescent home.
Funk was found in the home with cuts on her head while Darling, Mathany and one other man who was never charged, were found hiding in the back of the property just as a police dog and handler had arrived on the scene.
RCMP found marijuana, methamphetamine and cocaine, an assortment of weapons and tools for making fraudulent identification. A stolen vehicle from Alberta was located in the driveway.
Funk took responsibility for the identification-making kit, a shotgun and a set of nunchucks.
Funk and Mathany, who both have addiction issues, had moved to Prince George from Calgary in April to get a fresh start, the court heard.
Funk had remained in custody since her arrest, adding up to 92 days, but most of the credit she received for time served prior to sentencing was used up when she was sentenced August 2 for theft over $5,000 and unlawful escape from custody from an April 15 incident in Golden.
On the Prince George matter, Funk had been sentenced to a total of 30 days in jail, but received credit of 24 days for time served prior to sentencing.
Funk had pleaded guilty to careless use or storage of a firearm, possessing a firearm without a licence or registration, possession of an unauthorized weapon and dealing with an identity document without lawful excuse.
In issuing the sentence provincial court judge Wilfred Klinger reluctantly agreed to a joint submission from Crown and defence counsels, saying it was at the low end of the range. He also stipulated that Funk provide a DNA sample, saying the possession of unregistered firearms is a serious offence, "especially when combined with people addicted to drugs."
In July, Darling, who also comes from Calgary, was sentenced to time served for the stolen pickup truck. And last month, Mathany was released from custody to go through a year-long treatment program, after pleading guilty to three charges.
