One man has been charged in the case of the cocaine carrying Lincoln Navigator - but that's not the end of the story. 41 year old Ranchito resident Robert Gentle, has been remanded into custody for driving the Lincoln Navigator which had 13 pounds of cocaine in a hidden compartment.
But, how did he get possession of the vehicle? And what about the owner, who reported it stolen minutes after the crash?
Police say the owner and the driver still have more questions to answer:..
ASP Alejandro Cowo, OC-CIB Belize City
"Yes the police is looking at that angle and likewise other persons are being seek in reference that same vehicle."
Reporter
"Ok, but so since the vehicle was not his, did Mr. Gentle have any conveyance or any authorization because the vehicle has been reported stolen. So why was he not then charged with theft of the vehicle or handling stolen goods or abetment to theft or something related to the...?"
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"It's a matter of the police is still investigating at this moment."
Reporter
"So he may face additional charges."
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"Yes he may."
Robert Gentle was detained on New Year's Eve and he was represented in court by attorney Leslie Hamilton.
In other news, another man remanded to prison - Coast Guard officer, 23 year old Denzel Deshawn Wagner was reportedly found with a small quantity of weed when he got to jail today. Wagner is charged along with 24 year old Ryan Hyde, for attempted murder.
