Tonight, Sonia Bainton, a Ladyville resident, is out on bail after police say that she kicked down a piece of concrete wall that makes up the cell block are of the Ladyville Police Station.
On Saturday, She and Elward McKay were in detention at the station on a handling stolen goods case. That's when, according to police she stamped a part of the concrete structure that makes up the cell block, breaking a portion of it.
She was charged with damaged to property, and today before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer, she pleaded guilty. She was fined $300, and ordered to pay compensation of $500 to the Government of Belize.
For the handling stolen goods case, she was charged with Elward McKay for being in possession of a stolen iPhone 6 and a wristwatch. Bainton pleaded not guilty to handling stolen goods, and so did McKay. She was released on bail, of $800, but the Senior Magistrate remanded McKay to prison because he has several offences of a similar nature before the court.
