posted (December 23, 2019)
Tonight, 22-year-old Steven Mejia, a construction worker from Antelope Street Extension, is out on bail tonight after being taken to court for allegedly breaking into a family's home and threatening hurt her.

The incident allegedly occurred on Thursday, December 12, at the Belize City home of Sherilyn Segura. She says that while she, her common-law husband, and her children were in their living room, Mejia barged into their home uninvited, and threatened her with bodily harm.

Police investigated her complaint, and they charged Mejia with the offense of burglary with the intent to harm. He was arraigned today before Chief Magistrate Sharon Frazer, and he pleaded not guilty to the offense. He asserted in court that he didn't go into the house and that he only stood on their steps. He also denied that he threatened Segura with violence.

He was released on bail of $3,000, and his case was adjourned until February 28th, 2020.
