Tonight, 23 year-old Orange Walk resident Jamal Warrior is on remand at the Belize Central Prison. That’s because a young man accused him of a knife point robbery.

The incident happened yesterday at around 11:15 a.m. A 16 year-old minor was walking on Meighan Avenue when he was approached by 2 men on bicycles. One of the men grabbed him, placed a knife at his neck, and robbed him of his iPhone.

The men rode off, but the victim’s father called the police, and they both set chase.  They detained one of the men later identified as Jamal Warrior. He was searched, but he did not have stolen phone on him. The cops did find a small quantity of marijuana. They charged him for the robbery, and drug possession.

He was arraigned today before Magistrate Carlon Mendoza, and he pleaded guilty to the drug possession charge, for which he was fined a hundred dollars. He pleaded not guilty to the robbery, and the police prosecutor objected to bail. He couldn’t convince the court why he should get it, and so, the Magistrate remanded him until this Friday, for further bail consideration.
