By Breaking Belize News Staff: A 39-year-old fisherman is indebted to the court after pleading guilty to two drug-related offenses involving crack pipes.
Jonathan Raymond Coye appeared unrepresented before a Senior Magistrate in Court #2, where he was charged with two counts of possession of utensils used in connection with the smoking of a controlled drug.
The charges stem from an incident on Monday, May 5, 2025, when Coye was found with two pipes commonly used to smoke crack cocaine. One was a 3.5-inch metal pipe containing black wire mesh; the other, a 2.5-inch silver and black pipe with no mesh. Coye quickly pleaded guilty but corrected the record, stating one pipe measured 2.2 inches, not 2.5.
For his guilty plea, he was handed two non-custodial fines of $200 each, plus $5 in court costs per charge, totaling $410. Coye must pay the full amount by August 29, 2025, or face two months’ imprisonment on each count by default.
