Urbie Free To Fly
posted (July 1, 2016)
He may have run a few "red lights", but Detective Constable Urbie Alamilla keeps hitting those greens. The cop who was charged for discharging a firearm in public got free on bail last week, and this week his attorney Dickie Bradley successfully argued for one of the terms of his bail to be waived. Bradley appeared before Adolph Lucas today to ask the court's permission to allow Alamilla to travel outside Belize. Bradley, who made the application, explained that Alamilla was granted vacation leave before he was charged with discharging a firearm in public and he had already bought travel tickets for himself and his family. The Crown, represented by Crown Counsel Janelle Tillett, did not object to Constable Alamilla leaving Belize but asked that he furnish the address in the US where he and his family will be staying and provide a copy of his travel itinerary.

With all sides agreeing, that condition of bail was waived and he is free to travel, once he meets the court's requirements for reporting.

Alamilla had also escaped criminal charges the first time he discharged a firearm in public, but didn't get away when he did the same thing the following week.
