| Two Jamaican Nationals, 37 year old Devon Dean and 24 year old Khario Fisher appeared in court today to answer to several criminal offenses after attempting to enter Belize through the PGIA. Dean was read two counts of aggravated assault with a wooden chair upon Allen Vargas an immigration officer, while being detained at his hotel on Monday for being a Non bonafide tourist in Belize. Dean pleaded guilty, and was fined $800 plus $5 cost of court which he must pay forthwith or face four months imprisonment.
After he paid his fine Dean was detained again by the Belize Immigration department an hour after stepping out of court. That happened just after he tried to give our court reporter an interview:
Rodriguez's other client Khario Fisher was arraigned for harm, to which he pleaded guilty. Fisher is accused of harming a security guard on duty at the hotel on Monday. He was fined $300 plus $5 cost of court which he must pay or face 3 months imprisonment. Both men arrived in Belize on October 24th in a group of 7 people. They say they were here to visit relatives. Only two were allowed entry into Belize.
