By Breaking Belize News Staff: A 59-year-old Belize City woman who claimed she found a crack pipe while doing housework in Taylor’s Alley was fined after pleading guilty in court on Tuesday.
Delia McCoy was charged with possession of utensils for smoking a controlled drug after police reportedly caught her with a wooden crack pipe in the well-known drug hotspot early Tuesday morning.
Police say that around 7:00 a.m., while conducting a foot patrol through Taylor’s Alley, police observed McCoy attempting to hide a wooden pipe under a board. She was approached, informed of the offense, and taken into custody.
In court, McCoy, who appeared unrepresented before the Chief Magistrate, pleaded guilty to the charge. She told the court she had been doing housekeeping work in the area and found the pipe while hanging out clothes.
The Chief Magistrate, noting that this was McCoy’s third conviction for a drug-related utensil, warned her that any future offense could result in a prison sentence rather than a fine.
McCoy was ordered to pay a $305 fine — $300 plus $5 court cost — by December 15, 2025, or serve one month in prison in default.
