By Breaking Belize News: A 26-year-old Belizean/American was busted trying to smuggle marijuana into the country via the Philip Goldson International airport.

Kevin Gillett, who resides in Crooked Tree when in Belize, appeared on Friday in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court answering to a single count of possession of controlled drugs.

In court, Gillett explained that he was unaware it was illegal and that he only brought the marijuana with him for his personal use. He pleaded guilty to the charge and apologized for any trouble he may have caused.

For his guilty plea, he was fined $550 plus $5 cost of court which he had to pay forthwith or he would be imprisoned for three months.

Authorities found 58 grams of marijuana in Gillett’s possession on December 9 when they searched him upon entering the country.
