A school warden is in big trouble with the law after she was found in possession of approximately four point three pounds of weed. Forty-four-year-old Billie Jean Pitts was arrested and charged on Saturday for drug trafficking after she was caught red-handed picking up a parcel from the BPMS Office in Belize City. Pitts has since refused to cooperate with police, but investigations have since revealed that the parcel was sent from Corozal to Belize City via the courier service. Assistant Superintendent of Police Alejandro Cowo says that police are looking for the person who sent the package.

“Police observed a female exiting the BPMS office located on Dean Street. At the time she was in possession of a black bag on her hand. Police intercepted her and conducted a search on the bag which led to the discovery of three parcels containing suspected cannabis. This female was identified as Billie Jean Pitts, a forty-four-years school warden of a Belize City address. The drugs were weighed in her presence and amounted to one thousand nine hundred and fifty grams. She was then arrested and charged for the offense of drug trafficking. It is something that we have been monitoring for a very good while. If you notice, there have also been several persons arrested and charged for drug trafficking likewise in San Pedro using the two airlines that flies to San Pedro and Caye Caulker.”
