posted (May 3, 2013)
Last week, 7News told you about 28 year-old Patrick Menzies and his latest run-in with police. Well tonight, he's out on bail after he was taken to court for it.

As we reported, on last week Thursday, Menzies got into an altercation at a Belize City bar with Police Constable David Griffith. They reportedly started to fight, and Menzies allegedly knocked out PC Griffith. That's around the time when, according to reports, Menzies was arrested by responding police officers, who allegedly beat him.

Well, the allegations of police brutality have to take a backseat because Menzies was charged with wounding, and today he was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith.

He pleaded not guilty and was granted bail of $500, which he was able to meet. He must return to court on June 26, 2013.

Menzies is also out of bail on 2 counts of attempted murder against Police Constables Delwin Casimiro and Natasha James for trying to run them over in 2011.
