Alrick, Again!?
posted (March 31, 2016)
Four weeks ago, Alrick Smith was accused of drug trafficking when Orange Walk police say he was driving the look out car - a Mercedes sedan - escorting a Cadillac Escalade, which was caught on the highway with over 16 pounds of weed.

Well, today Customs caught Smith at the northern border checkpoint. They say he was driving a Jaguar sedan, loaded with 5 parcels of marijuana. Four parcels were in the trunk concealed under the spare tyre, and one was under the seat.

Customs says he was coming across from Chetumal and when he pulled up at the checkpoint, the officers smelt marijuana. When one officer started to search the vehicle, Smith became aggressive and two other officers had to be called to restrain him. Witnesses say he struck one of them, and was calling out threats to the customs personnel. They called in police who took the vehicle to the Corozal police station, where they found an additional stash of weed in the sunroof.

The drugs are currently being weighed and Smith will be charged tomorrow. He was travelling with two others persons who were going through Immigration when he was intercepted.
