Sunday's municipal convention for the UDP at the ITVET in Belize City was like a party for the Red's - and police say one ministerial driver took it too far. Dorian Albert Avilez, the driver for Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington was allegedly busted with 7.1 grams or two ounces of weed when police searched him as he entered the gate at 5:00 pm.
At 10:00 this morning, the thirty six year-old was taken to court in handcuffs where he appeared before Magistrate Hettie Mae Stewart and was read a single charge of possession of controlled drugs. He was unrepresented, pleaded not guilty and was offered bail.
But court reports couldn't just meet it and go, because he owes the court two thousand nine hundred and ninety dollars for an ammunition conviction some years ago.
So he had to pay the fine, and his bail, and then he was free to leave.
