Shawn Govang sent to prison for cocaine trafficking, Moncton

On January 20, 2011, 43-year-old Shawn Govang of Moncton appeared in the Court of Queen’s Bench and was sentenced to two years in prison for trafficking in cocaine. He was also prohibited from possessing firearms for a period of ten years, prohibited from possessing restricted/prohibited weapons for life, and required to submit a DNA sample.
