Mario Bustillos

Mario Bustillos is a Belize Police Department exhibit keeper who has been in the news due to his involvement in a controversial case concerning the improper disposal of cannabis-infused gummies. These edibles, which were originally seized by the Police Anti-Narcotics Unit, were allegedly discarded by Bustillos without authorization, leading to widespread concern when they reportedly ended up in the hands of schoolchildren, resulting in hospitalizations. He faces charges of willful oppression, and his trial has been postponed to March 2027 as he remains free on bail.
