Today, Elisa Chan, 26, an unemployed of Alan Pitts Crescent, appeared before Magistrate Albert Hoare for allegedly trying to smuggle eighty grams of cannabis into Belize Central Prison in two “fry jacks” today. She was charged with drug trafficking.
Chan pleaded not guilty to the charges. Magistrate Albert Hoare offered her a bail of $5,000, which she was able to meet; she is due back in court on September 16, 2010.
Chan went to Belize Central Prison in Hattieville around 10:20 a.m. The cannabis was reportedly detected when two foam plates, each with 3 fry jacks, were searched. One fry jack in each foam plate contained cannabis. When the cannabis was weighed together, it amounted to 80 grams.
