By Breaking Belize News Staff: A Belize City man who was busted earlier this year with a small quantity of crack cocaine has changed his plea to guilty and was fined in court on Monday.
Edras Lopez, who was charged with possession of 0.1 grams of crack cocaine on January 24, 2025, had initially pleaded not guilty. However, after his bail was revoked for breaching its conditions and he was remanded to prison, Lopez was brought back before a magistrate where he changed his plea to guilty.
The charge stemmed from an incident on Barbara Harris Street, where police reportedly found Lopez in possession of the drug.
Appearing in Courtroom #8, Lopez was fined $150 plus a $5 court cost, which he must pay by June 30, 2025. If he fails to pay, he will serve one month in prison.
This marks Lopez’s third conviction for a drug-related offense.
