Will Police Charge One More For Jamar?
posted (January 18, 2018)

11 year old Jahmar Ferguson is still fighting to recover fully after Mario Bul allegedly struck him in the head on New Year’s Day in Orange Walk. Ferguson’s leg was also injured in the attack. When we spoke to his mother today she told us that Jahmar is responding well and walking better but he still needs to go to therapy for his leg. He also has to take MRI on his brain to check for swelling. So although he is doing much better, his mother and the doctors still have to monitor his condition closely. His mother also expressed how bitter she is about the incident. She told us that she is angry that Bul is out free on bail in Orange Walk and that he hasn’t even apologized or offered any form of assistance. His mother also insisted that the other man who allegedly held the boy down for Bul to hit him, should be charged as well. We asked police for an update on this case today

"Any update on Jahmar Ferguson. The 11 year old who got beaten.  I know the guy, Mario Bul has been charged, but the young man is saying that one older man held him down while Bul assaulted him. Is that an ongoing investigation?"

ACP Joseph Myvett - National CIB
"Yes it is."

Jules Vasquez
"So, might there be more charges?"

ACP Joseph Myvett
"Well it depends on the outcome of the further investigation.â€￾
