A domestic abuse case turned into a drug bust in Orange Walk. Yesterday evening around 6:00, Belmopan resident Monica Flores and her common law husband Omar Fransisco Mejia were returning from Botes, Mexico. They got into an argument and Mejia hit Flores in the head. Flores called the police. The police responded and searched Mejia only to find 21.2 grams of weed, 1.5 grams of cocaine and 1.6 grams of crack cocaine in his pants pocket. Police arrested and charged Mejia with Harm for hitting Flores and then (2) counts of drug trafficking, and (1) count of Possession of Control drugs. He was arraigned in court today where he plead not guilty and was offered and met bail of $1,500 and a surety of the same amount. His case was adjourned until 28th May, 2018.
