Today, the police held their bi-weekly press brief but seemed to have been stung by a recent release from the PUP United Women's Group. That release zeroed in on the slow-going investigation into an allegation by two women of rape at the Independence Police Station. And, second, the PUP criticized the cops for seeming to blame murder victim Michelle Anison's friendliness for contributing to her demise.
So, today right off the bat - the Police Media Relations Unit told us there would be no comment on those pressing matters at today's press brief.
Now that's far from ideal - but they say the rape investigation file is now with the DPP - and eventually they did say a little about the Aniston case.
They also told us about that weed bust customs made near Patchakan village. As we reported, customs intercepted a man coming from the "Estero" river crossing with 20 pounds of weed. They handed him and the weed over to police - and they told us what happened next:...
ASP Alejandro Cowo, O.C., C.I.B., Belize City
"The customs personnel handed over to police a male person, along with a Chicolastic plastic bag containing suspected cannabis. Also a brown in color Geo Prizm with Orange Walk taxi license plates. The driver of the vehicle was learned to be Mr. Brian Alexander Young, a forty-eight-year-old Belizean taxi driver from Trial Farm Village. The suspected cannabis was weighed and amounted to nine thousand, two hundred and ninety-eight grams of cannabis. I think he is expected to be charged this morning and taken to the Magistrate's Court in Corozal."
