Corozal - A high profile Drug case involving two Belizeans,
one from Corozal Town, one from San Pedro Ambergris Caye
and a Mexican national is dismissed against the trio in the Corozal Magistrate Court.

The dismissal almost went under the radar last week but was
picked up by this Editor this morning.

The dismissal was given as forensic results of the suspected
cocaine turn negative.

A classic case of suspected cocaine turning to powder or "flour"
as we say here.

================

On September 9th, 2012 we reported that Corozal Police arrested and charged two Belizeans, one Alfonso Iglesias of Corozal Town, one Jose Alberto Nuñez Jr. of San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye and a Mexican national, one Pedro Alfonso Betancourt Reed for the possession of over 400 grams of suspected cocaine. The vehicle that the trio were travelling in was a Mexican licensed Silver Ford SUV, license plate No. Yucatan UUA-79-59. Both Belizeans and the Mexican had met bail and were awaiting trial. They were jointly charged for drug trafficking.

Last week a stunning evidence in the Corozal Magistrate court revealed that forensic tests proved negative results to cocaine or illicit drugs to the evidence submitted by prosecution in the case of the trio. The case was immediately dismissed in court by the magistrate and the trio walked out of court as free men and Betancourt Reed was handed back his Silver Ford SUV.
