posted (April 8, 2014)
Social media has made much of a video showing Cayo police running into the Macal River on Saturday to stop a fight between three unruly women.

IT happened at an event called the Belikin River Bash where there was a fight involving three women. Six police officers were on special duty, and they went to break up the fight. But they say that during the process, they were obstructed by a man who threw water on them.

He was taken into police custody - which meant more or less dropping him into the back of a pickup truck. He was later released into the custody of his father who is a town Justice of the Peace. Police say the man had been drinking.

Well Cayo police have confirmed that the three women were charged for disorderly conduct, and one of them was charged for harm. They have all been arraigned in court.

Cayo Officer Commanding Ralph Moody says that with the crowd of about three or four hundred - 10 police should have been assigned to the area.
