By Breaking Belize News Staff: A Belize City man who was charged with drug-related offenses was sent to prison this week over unpaid fines.

Fifty-five-year-old John Hoy appeared in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court where he was charged with two counts of possession of utensils for the purpose of smoking drugs. He immediately took ownership of the two crack pipes and pleaded guilty.

Hoy was fined $300 plus $5 cost of court for each offense for a total of $610, which he has to pay by June 30 and July 30 respectively or he will spend 3 months in jail per offense.

While in court, Hoy’s records showed that he had previous fines that he made no effort to pay, so the Magistrate ordered that he be sent to prison to serve out his fines.
