31 year-old former Special Constable, Natalie Hamilton is out on bail after she was busted trying to smuggle marijuana into the Belize Central Prison.
According to Prison Officers, yesterday, Hamilton entered the facility saying that she was going to visit her boyfriend, Gion Bernard, who is currently on remand. The officers searched her and found that she was trying to smuggle 9 grams of marijuana into the facility, most likely for her boyfriend. She was handed over to the police, who charged her with possession of controlled drugs. She was arraigned today before Magistrate Leslie Hamilton. She pleaded not guilty and granted bail of $500.
The Kolbe Foundation reports that they also caught another visitor today, and she was trying to smuggle 12 grams of marijuana in for her boyfriend who is also on remand. It is the vigilance of the prison officers who caught both women. That woman has been handed over to police, and though we have her name, we can't release it because it has not been confirmed if she has been criminal charged
