Another American tourist was busted at the airport for bringing marijuana into the country. It's the third US national in two weeks, and this time, 28-year-old eyelash technician Jennifer Marroquin Valencia was caught with 11.1 grams yesterday. She appeared today unrepresented in court to answer to the charge of importation of a controlled drug. She pled guilty and explained that she is from Los Angeles, California, where marijuana has been a legal substance, and was not aware of Belizean laws. She was fined $1,000 plus a $5 cost of court fee, which she was ordered to pay forthwith since she is not a Belizean citizen.
49 year old Roderick Boone and 37 year old Lee Whyms were also busted at PGIA back in late August.
