Another man who’s claiming innocence in another unfortunate situation is 26 year-old David Dion Tillett. Police have charged him for being in possession of a stolen vehicle license sticker.

According to the cops, On last week Friday, Arturo Gallego, the Assistant Manager of Belize City Council’s Works Department, reported that 2 days earlier, he was conducting a vehicle fleet inspection at his job site. That’s when he noticed that the international dump truck with the license plate 00032, had its sticker missing. He said that he got in touch with his colleagues at the Traffic Department, to assist in identifying the pin number of the sticker. That turned out to be BCC 0383494, which was reported stolen. He told the cops that he later found the missing license plate sticker on the back of a yellow, GMC Sonoma pickup truck, which was registered to David Tillett.

Police later arrested and charged the heavy duty equipment mechanic from Brown street with the offense of handling stolen goods. He was arraigned on Monday before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford, and he pleaded not guilty to the offense. He was released on bail of $1,000, and he must return to court on August 6th.
