Bombardier Chelsea Cogswell of Base Gagetown faces maximum of 5 years in prison
New Brunswick soldier accused of giving cannabis-laced cupcakes to troops on a live-fire training exercise has been found guilty of nine charges.
Bombardier Chelsea Cogswell was convicted Wednesday of eight counts of administering a noxious substance to soldiers without their consent and one count of behaving in a disgraceful manner, a charge under the National Defence Act, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, according to the prosecution.
A 10th charge of committing an act to the prejudice of good order and discipline, which is a lesser offence than behaving in a disgraceful manner, was stayed.
Military Judge Cmdr. Sandra Sukstorf delivered her decision over two hours to a full courtroom Wednesday morning at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown in Oromocto, N.B.
Cogswell, who was in charge of the canteen, was found to have put cannabis into cupcakes she had baked at home and distributed to soldiers in July 2018 when they were on a live-fire exercise. She didn't tell them about the cannabis.

She looks like a walking barcode
She is knowingly pushing drugs. And you?
Is this like putting daisies into rifle barrels?
