posted (September 24, 2012)
And another man who is charged with allegedly attacking another police officer is 31 year-old Carlo Chuc, a construction worker residing in Orange Walk.

According to Police Constable Ervin Pech, he was waiting at the bus stop in Ladyville near the airport junction along with several other people on Independence Day.

Pech told police that he saw Chuc coming down the road, acting drunk. Chuc started to curse, and when another man, Wilbert Jimenez, told him about it he got mad.

Chuc reportedly threw food at Jimenez and they got into a fight.

When Chuc punched Himenez in the face, PC Pech got involved to try to get the situation under control, but Chuc allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed Pech in the left side of the head.

Ladyville Police were called in quickly and they arrested and charged Chuc with attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, wounding, and common assault.

He was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer who couldn't take any plea from him due to the nature of the offences. She remanded him to prison until November 5, his next court date, but not before noting down that Chuc claimed that Ladyville police brutalized him while he was detained after the incident.
