Last night we told you about Special Constable Eldo Itza who was finally charged for assaulting a Chinese business man last week Thursday in San Jose Village. Well tonight, he’s out on bail after he was arraigned in the Orange Walk Magistrate’s Court today.
Itza was charged with burglary, wounding, and harm, and he pleaded not guilty to all charges, he was released on bail of $500 dollars. He must return to court on July 1. We can’t show you his photograph tonight. That’s because, as with the usual cop culture of shielding a fellow officer who is criminally charged, Itza was afforded assistance to avoid the media.
As we told you, he also enjoyed his Easter vacation at home after he was arrested on the scene for assaulting Ben Wong, a store owner in San Jose Village. The arresting officers released him afterwards and allowed him to come in at his convenience to get his charges.
Itza encountered Wong and his uncle closing up their store, and he wanted to buy beer. He allegedly jumped the fence, and started to assault Wong’s uncle, and when Wong himself rushed to store, Itza struck him in the head with a pint bottle. The injury required 10 stitches.
