By BBN Staff: A routine police stop of a man not wearing a face mask ended in an arrest for drug possession earlier today.

Police say that a team exiting the Belize City bus terminal saw a man walking on the bridge in front of the terminal with no mask and a gold giftbag in his hand.

The officers stopped him and searched the gift bag, finding an item wrapped in red gift paper which was torn open and eventually found a plastic bag containing marijuana amounting to 130 grams.

Police officially arrested and charged Troy Wade, 24, for possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply, as well as failing to wear a face mask or other face (mouth) covering whilst in public.
