And before we close we have a quick update on two stories we ran earlier in the newscast. First, Michael Finnegan called our newsroom a few minutes ago to tell us that even as we've been reporting on the Easy Glenn imposter incident - Glenn was calling UDP Politician Li Mark Chang to order 54 dollars' worth of food in Finnegan's name.
City Police have been alerted.
And, in another update, as we told you earlier, the so called Chicken Dread Paul Ferguson was picked up today for insulting words - and the Belize city Mayor also said he had been generating too much fumes at his open air location.
But tonight, he is back at his spot. A few minutes ago, he told Daniel Ortiz why he came back:
Daniel Ortiz
"You are testing the patience of the City Council. Why is that, sir?"
Paul Ferguson - Resisting City Hall
"First thing, the Mayor is a liar, and the Mayor never gave me any warning. The Mayor never told me anything about someone has a health issue with me. What health issue is that, sir? All the Spanish who are selling in the park area, why don't they go and move them? All the people selling on the sidewalk, why don't they move them? Why now will they think about moving me? I am doing this for year, before Mr. Bradley even got into the Mayor's office. I am doing this for years out here. Who is it that's complaining? An Indian man said that I am bothering him because some oil went under his shutter. It's him who's complaining; it's only him. Who else is complaining? Let us be really. So, why doesn't the Mayor come out here and see me? Why did he send one of his cronies? Why did they only charge me for insulting words? Charge me for obstruction; I am selling on the sidewalk. Why didn't they implement those charges against me? Come on, man, let's be real."
Daniel Ortiz
"So, will you continue to operate?"
Paul Ferguson - Resisting City Hall
"Of course, every time they lock me up, and I come out back, I will do the same thing."
Ferguson says he has no intention of moving from that corner - and even if he is jailed, he will return.
