More Charges Against Double Zero Owner for Immigration Offenses

Forty-seven-year-old Joshua Ashburn, an American living in Belize, is in even deeper trouble tonight after being slapped with multiple charges for alleged immigration offenses. On Monday, November eighteenth, Ashburn’s business, Double Zero on Western Avenue, was raided by officers who found a large stash of cannabis, a firearm, ammunition, and various immigration documents. While he’s already been arraigned and remanded for drug trafficking and firearms possession, today he was hit with five counts of possessing false documents and five counts of preparation for crime. Earlier this week, Ashburn’s common-law wife, Xochil Lopez, was also remanded at the Belize Central Prison, facing four criminal charges related to the bust two Mondays ago.
