One Burger, No Mayo, Extra Marijuana!

That wasn't extra lettuce in your burger! That green, leafy substance was weed!

That's what police must have told 26 year-old Elvis Aldana, a resident of Rivero Street, Belize City, after he tried to smuggle weed to a prisoner at the Magistrate's Court cellblock. The authorities say that he hid it inside a burger.

A police officer working at the cell block said that Aldana handed him a burger to give to Trevor Guy, a man on remand who was brought to court for bail. The officer opened the burger and found 2.5 grams of marijuana stuffed inside.

Aldana was charged with drug possession, and when he was arraigned before Magistrate Aretha Ford, he wasted no time and pleaded guilty.

Magistrate Ford sentenced him to pay a fine of $800 by November 30, and if he defaults, he will spend 8 months in jail.
