An employee of Princess Casino, accused of assaulting a man and his girlfriend with a firearm, appeared at the magistrates court this morning in Belize City. He is a Food and beverage manager, 40 year old Tyron Humes. Just after 12:30 am on Sunday January 12th, 57 year old Edwin Bowen reported to police that he was exiting Princess Casino in the company of his girlfriend when they encountered Humes and another man searching inside of Bowen's green Honda Van which was parked not far from the entrance of the casino's exit gate. As Bowen approached Humes, Humes allegedly pulled out his licensed firearm and threatened Bowen, again allegedly pointing the weapon at him. As Bowen began to step back Humes lunged at him and punched him on the left side of his forehead. Humes was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly instrument. He appeared unrepresented today before a magistrates who read him the charges to which he pleaded not guilty. Due to the nature of the offenses Humes was denied bail and remanded to the Belize Central Prison until February 28th. Very notably, Humes got the license in what we can only call a questionable vetting and approval in 2023 under the Commissioner's hand.
