Convicted rapist Barry Robinson has been out on parole but tonight he is back
in jail. The 31 year old Robinson was today arraigned in court for robbery.
He is charged for robbing Bernadine Grinage.
Bernadine Grinage reported that shortly before 9 last night she was walking
on Eyre Street when someone hit her in the head and grabbed her black purse.
Inside the purse were her Gucci sunglasses, jewellery, her credit cards, about
$90 in cash, and a cell phone. Police say they busted Robinson with the stolen
Samsung brand cell phone shortly after the incident.
Robinson pleaded not guilty in court this morning and Magistrate Sharon Frazer
offered him bail of $4,000 and adjourned the case to December 2nd. But Robinson
wasn’t free to go because he is on parole from a rape conviction. If his
parole is revoked when the parole board meets later this month, he will have
to serve the remaining 5 years of his 10 year prison sentence.
Oryan Vernon Busted with Blank Checks
He says he is a personal trainer but when police busted 41 year old Oryan Paul
Vernon on Saturday – he had in his possession a forged Belize City driver’s
license and allegedly two blank Atlantic Bank checks. Today in court he was
arraigned for possession of the blank checks and the forged driver’s license.
He pleaded not guilty to the blank checks and Magistrate Sharon Frazer deferred
the charge for the forged ID.
Vernon who spoke with an American accent claims to be a Belizean American but
apart from the forged driver’s license had no other ID on him. In court
he admitted that the forged driver’s license was his but said the two
blanks weren’t. He said that the checks were taken to the police station
by a man who has had problems with the law.
Vernon was offered bail of $2,500 and the case was adjourned to December 2nd.
He was however released into the hands of police officers because he remains
under investigation for more charges.
