The fast-money life for an Ottawa couple has come to an abrupt end, with the freshly-engaged lovers off to prison for supplying the street with hard drugs, including deadly fentanyl.

Joshua Eyamie-Binks, 31, and Cortney Rattray-Johnson, 27, dabbed at tears as they pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and possession of all the restricted guns that went hand-in-hand with their hard-drug business.

They expressed remorse and have announced plans to get married once released from prison.

Eyamie-Binks was sentenced earlier this week to 10 years in prison, and his fiancée, Rattray-Johnson, is scheduled to be sentenced later this summer to eight years.

Ontario Court Justice Ann Alder told court that fentanyl is a type of “deadly weapon” and hopes that the federal sentences will send a clear message to other hard-drug dealers.

The judge noted that the couple was running an outlawed drug store, selling “some of the most dangerous and deadly drugs we have on our streets today.”
