Five remanded on gun and ammunition charges

Five Belize City men appeared before Magistrate Albert Hoare today to face gun possession and ammunition charges after a bust on Friday night.  Twenty-two year old Steven Flowers, twenty-eight year old Tylon Tillett, twenty year old Charles Young Jr. and thirty-four year old Robert Gilharry were arrested following the discovery of a black nine millimeter Luger brand pistol loaded with twelve live rounds.

Police on mobile patrol on Baymen Avenue reportedly were in pursuit of a green Toyota Camry when upon turning into Calle Al Mar an occupant of the vehicle tossed the weapon.  In court today Gilharry pleaded guilty to both charges admitting that he was the one who threw the pistol out of the vehicle.

An equivocal plea was entered after the facts of the case were read to Gilharry because he disagreed with police allegations that they saw Jeffrey Flowers toss the gun.  Tylon Tillett was represented by attorney Ellis Arnold while his colleagues were undefended.

The men have each appeared before the court on separate offences ranging from drug trafficking to attempted murder.  Due to the nature of this recent brush with the law all five were remanded to the Hattieville Prison until October twentieth.

    That bird in the hand is worth more then five in the bush, if Gilharry says he did it, consider it one conviction down & assume that he owned the gun, if there are dead bodies on it, charge him with murder & he may come to his senses. If he still has any.

    The last time Ellis was in court, he convinced the judge that Dr. Gough did not beat up his daughter’s boy toy, God knows what story he will come up with for this lune who is either high, crazy or trying to look tough.

    We want to see all of their faces.

    They’ve appeared in court before u say. Ok – then its pretty clear they’re criminal minded, hang them, hang them, hang them all. Why we keep letting these people back unto the streets to do more crimes? Lawd, when wi wahn laawn…

  3. MADDYVANDIJK/LAWENORDER says:

    Like I said many times before, don’t waste the court time, and shoot these animals in the head.
    Let them die for their country; they have nothing of value to contribute into a society that they did not help to create.

  4. rootsman says:

    It sure is nice for a change to see these culprits get arrested and face the legal system looks like the cops have done their job this time, now it’s up to the judge. Hope we can get to see this kind of arrest more frequently but we really need to see their faces wonder why would they post a picture hiding faces of criminals? It’s not like they are under aged or something. I hope they have all the evidence under lock and key in a vault where more than one person needs to open it don’t forget there are still dirty cops in the force that easily gets bought over.

    I couldnt agree with you more MADDYVAN…….we need to put our words in action

  6. Earl Grey says:

    MADDYVANDIJK/SURREALIST………………. WE’LL GIVE YOU THE GUN.

    Then you’ll be no better than those you call animals.

  7. Verleene says:

    GOOD one Earl i agree with you 110 percent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I hope that Maddyvandijk is working hard to make Belize a better place. all we do is talk talk talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. deedee says:

    This crowd ya always di tek vacation da Kolbe, Belize need fi adapt draconian laws & deal with ppl like these when they are found guilty of a crime. The laws of Belize are too WEAK, these guys will be out in a few months doing the same thing again or maybe even worst.

  9. Earl Grey says:

    kOLBE is too close to Belize City………. MOVE HARD-CORE CRIMINALS DOWN TO TOLEDO.

    BUILD A PRISON FARM DOWN THERE.

    The prisoners can earn their keep and CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY.

    Verleen, I suppose you are related to that little monkey, right? Go ahead feed him a banana.
    I do not only lend my support to the community where I was born in Belize, but I help the poor, the lazy and the helpless just like you throughout the world. Your ignorance adds nothing in the way of meaningful criticism or analysis to this post, so shut-up.

    What have you done for your country or your community lately? Standing in the welfare line is not contribution to your country, so shut up.

  11. MADDYVANDIJK/DEREALIST/DEPUNISHER says:

    Stygian, thanks.
    I am so tired of these rejects contributing nothing to society, yet takin what obviously does not belong to them.
    Shoot them like the beasts that they are and no one will object.

    Your PM is not destroying your country, it is them.
    Just take a look at the real enemy of your country.

  12. truth says:

    I agree that these men should be thrown under the jail for these charges, no doubt in my mind that they plan to do evil with these guns and ammo, but the racist comments made by Maddyvan just shows what kind of vermin is now running loose in our country. People like you sir are also a kind of beast that goes around raging like a demoniac spreading hatred like a cancer. Your kind of ignorance is also unnecessary in our society and it does nothing but bring strife and division. In Belize “all of us are one people”, and if you can’t accept this and or can’t express your opinion without resorting to racial comments. Please do the country and community a favor, and insert gun in mouth and pull the trigger. You are not needed nor wanted here.

  13. Earl Grey says:

    MADDYVANDIJK/DER-RACIST………. YOU ARE THE LITTLE MONKEY.

    YOU LIKE LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AS YOU SPOUT RACISM!!!!

  14. MADDYVANDIJK/DEREALIST/DEPUNISHER says:

    The beasts are still alive, eating taxpayers food, and sleeping in a nice warm bed, this should be illegal.
    Someone shoot these animals.
