35 year-old Frank Smith, a resident of Pelican Street in Belize City, is at the Belize Central Prison tonight after he was charged for the attempted murder in March 2019 of 38 year-old Lawrence Simpson.
Late this evening, Smith, who had been hospitalized after he was shot by a private citizen, was taken to court where he was arraigned before Senior Magistrate Tricia Pitts-Anderson on the offenses of attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and dangerous harm for Simpson's shooting.
He was additionally arraigned on the charge of aggravated assault for a separate incident in December of last year, for allegedly pulling a weapon on Dennis Hislop.
Because these are indictable offenses allegedly committed with a firearm, no plea was taken, and he was remanded into custody until July 24, 2019.
