Arsenio Guadalupe Tut Pinelo, 29, appeared unrepresented in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Mannon Dennison, where he pleaded guilty to failure to produce a visitor’s permit.
Pinelo, who told the court he came to Belize seeking work and had been doing construction on the island, was fined $1,000 plus $5 court costs. He was ordered to pay immediately or face six months in prison.
