22 year-old Kevin Bodden is already an inmate at the Belize Central Prison. But today persons tried to smuggle weed to him when he appeared at the Magistrate's Court for an adjournment hearing. So tonight, he's behind bars with the bad news that he will serve one more year because of that failed attempt.

That drug supplier shoved it in Bodden's hand, and the officers who were escorting him, did not see who did it, since normally, the court area is usually crowded. A vigilant officer saw when he made a suspicious move to shove his hand into his pocket. The officer immediately approached him, and retrieve the 40 grams - or 1.4 ounces of marijuana from that pocket.

He was immediately charged with possession of a controlled drug, and when he was arraigned before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer, where he pleaded guilty to the offense. She sentenced him to 1 year imprisonment, which is to run consecutively to the 3 years he's already spending for a conviction of grievous harm. That means he will spend a total of 4 years in jail.
