Last night a man was intercepted by the police, but instead of going quietly, he fired two shots and fled. At about 7 in the evening, Stephen Anderson, a 20 year old Belizean Laborer, was riding on a red motorcycle on Evergreen Street in Belize City, which he stole at gunpoint from a business man.
Police intercepted Anderson, and that's when he allegedly pulled out a gun -that looked to be a black .38 revolver. Anderson fired two shots at the Police D-Max vehicle, hitting the front bumper and radiator.
He fled, but was soon apprehended on Hondo Street where the police recovered 1 Smith and Wesson .38 revolver containing two expended shells and one live round.
He was arraigned in Magistrate's Court today, and he was charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault for allegedly shooting after police; robbery for holding up a businessman at gunpoint and stealing his motorcycle, kept unlicensed firearm for the .38 revolver, and kept unlicensed ammunition for the revolver's live round.
Since it is not certain if all charges will be dealt with on indictment, no plea was taken from him, and he was remanded to prison until his next court date which is set for May 23.
