Half baked marijuana in loaf of inmate’s bread

Marsha Thompson

Visitors of the Belize Central Prison have over the years grown creative in smuggling drugs into the facility.  We’re certain you’ve heard of pastries spiked with marijuana but corrections officers were surprised on Monday evening when a woman allegedly attempted to smuggle not whole wheat but weed bread into the prison.  Thirty-three year old Marsha Thompson, a domestic auxiliary at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital was busted in the process of delivering a loaf of sliced bread containing fifty grams of cannabis to an inmate.  No doubt it was intended as an early Christmas present, however, a search conducted by prison warden Amir Cano led to the discovery of the drug neatly hidden between the single slices.  Thompson, a resident of Lakeview Street, was immediately arrested and escorted to the police station where she was charged with drug trafficking.   In court today Thompson who was represented by attorney Dickie Bradley pleaded not guilty before Magistrate Dorothy Flowers.  She was offered and met bail in the sum of three thousand dollars.

    Dickie… Do you intend to represent Lavern or not? Why are you wasting your skills & contacts on this idiot? If she is willing to take weed into a jail, she obviously does not appreciate her freedom.

    It’s interesting how everyone in Belize are not guilty of the crimes that they commit this sure keeps the lawyers well employed, even the magistrates are helping them to be fully employed by refusing to accept guilty pleas.

    She should have been remanded until well after the new year. I see trickie Dickie is involved – must be big drugs money involved, with guaranteed payment!
