Arthur Young handed over to Belize by Mexican Authorities

Arthur Young

The infamous Arthur Young, who has beaten the murder rap several times, now faces three more criminal charges for which he was arraigned today. Young went into hiding after police found a firearm silencer and equipment to manufacture the weapon accessory along with numerous books about the use of guns and sound suppressors. That bust was on April third at a house in Vista Del Mar, Ladyville.  Young contacted News Five days after the discovery to say that he would not turn himself in because he was convinced that the cops wanted him dead and he was getting legal advice from attorney Dickie Bradley. Young’s luck ran out on May ninth and he was captured in Chetumal when he tried to board an early morning flight to Mexico City using a fake passport with the alias Edward Roberts. He was handed over to Belizean authorities today and was immediately taken to court for processing. Young was charged with Keeping Prohibited Material, Drug Trafficking for three ounces of cocaine and Possession of Controlled Drugs for just under a half ounce of cannabis. He pleaded not guilty to all three offences and could not be released on bail unless his attorney successfully applies to the Supreme Court. Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer scheduled the next court date for August twenty-sixth. He joined his associate, Errol Haynes, who was found inside the house during the police search. Haynes has already been arraigned on similar charges and is also to return to court on that date. Haynes is currently out on bail, which was granted by the Supreme Court.
