Jeremy Trodd, the man who killed a Sudbury police officer in 1999, was sentenced to 14 months in jail on Dec. 13, after pleading guilty to several weapons charges earlier this week.
The sentence will include nine months and 10 days he has already spent in custody leading up to Ontario Court Justice Louise Serre's ruling.
Trodd, who has a lengthy record of violence, breaches and drugs, must also submit a DNA sample, forfeit all weapons and is under a lifetime weapons ban.
Assistant Crown attorney Kenrick Abbott was seeking 18 months, while Trodd's lawyer, Michael Haraschuk, was seeking three to six months.
When Trodd was arrested in October 2018, he was found with a flip knife in his pocket and a machete strapped to his back. Officers found a pellet gun in a bag on his lap, and four more pellet guns in a bag in the trunk.
Trodd told the court he was on his way to sell the weapons. He admitted they were stolen, and that he was on the run and doing what he needed to support his drug habit.
At the time of his arrest, Trodd was under a number of orders after being granted bail in July 2018. The charges in that case, stemming from an incident in early 2018, included aggravated assault — he alleged stabbed someone and allegedly bit a police officer during his arrest.
During his bail hearing, Trodd was released into the care of his surety, his mother, who lives on the Magnetawan First Nation. He had been fitted with an electronic monitoring device.
However, sometime after he was released on bail, he removed the device and left his home, the court heard.
Greater Sudbury Police received a tip that he was in Sudbury. He was spotted on Oct. 22 leaving a home on Morin Avenue in a vehicle with his girlfriend. When officers stopped the vehicle, they found Trodd with the weapons. He was under six weapons bans at the time.
Trodd is also facing seven charges from March 2017 — two drug possession charges, one charge of obstructing a police officer and four counts of breach of probation. Those charges are still before the courts.
Trodd was sentenced to six years and one month at Kingston Prison for the death of Sgt. Rick McDonald in 1999.
The 12-year veteran of Sudbury Regional Police was struck and fatally injured by a stolen vehicle that was fleeing police July 28, 1999. McDonald was deploying a spike belt at the intersection of Highway 69 and the southeast bypass when the collision occurred.
Trodd was the driver. He was 16 at the time. Trodd's 17-year-old cousin, Peter Nogonosh, was also killed in the crash. He was a passenger in the stolen vehicle.
