Federal Ministerial Police agents attached to the Criminal Investigation Agency arrested Joce “N” in Quintana Roo on an order issued by a district judge.[1] The Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR) said she was sent back to prison to serve a sentence of three years, 11 months and 26 days for a crime against health in the form of dealing in marijuana.[1]

She had been sentenced in September 2022 for her responsibility for activities linked to the sale of marijuana and received a conditional sentence subject to set obligations.[1] A judge revoked the benefit because she did not comply with the substitute penalty she had accepted and did not report voluntarily to the Chetumal Social Reintegration Centre (Cereso) to serve the court’s orders.[1]

The court ordered her rearrest so that she serves the whole prison term imposed, and the FGR said she would remain locked up for the remaining time of her sentence.[1]
