Alleged Burglar Drags Himself To Court After Breaking Legs
posted (October 9, 2014)
Keith Burgess showed up at court on crutches today - and had to scrape himself up off the ground when he was called into court. But, it wasn't the police who left him like that - the allegation is that he did it to himself. Police say he broke both legs when he jumped form a building he was caught burglarizing.

The 53-year-old Caye Caulker resident was caught in the act, on a surveillance camera after stealing 20 whole lobsters from Bamboo's Beach Bar & Grill in Caye Caulker two days ago on October 7th.

He was arraigned on a single charge of burglary - to which he pleaded not guilty. He got bail of $1,000 and is due back in Court #4 on December 9, 2014.

He caused quite a scene at court when he refused to use the crutches and dragged himself on the ground, explaining to the magistrate that the crutches shock his feet when he applies pressure.
