“Crazy” Arnold assault minor, although rape charge pending in Court

michael "crazy' arnoldTwo families say they were terrorized by an early morning intruder, identified as the infamous Michael “Crazy” Arnold, of Ladyville. In the wee hours of Sunday morning, Arnold entered a house in the La Milpa area of Ladyville where he allegedly attempted to rape a twelve year old girl. He threatened to suffocate her if she screamed but she did and her mother who was sleeping nearby was alerted. Arnold ran out of that house but headed to another not far away. This time he gained entry into the house of Martha Palma where the family was asleep. Palma’s thirteen year old daughter, however, woke up to use the bathroom and that’s when she spotted the burglar. The entire household sprung into action and Arnold was overpowered then handed over to Ladyville police. This morning he appeared before Magistrate Dorothy Flowers and was charged with Aggravated Assault of an Indent Nature. He was then taken before Magistrate Emmerson Banner this afternoon where he pleaded not guilty to the Burglary at Palma’s home. Arnold claimed that he was tied up and badly beaten before he was handed over to police and says he needs to give his side of the story when the case comes up again. He was granted bail of six thousand dollars but it was revoked because he has missed several court dates for a rape charge which he also has pending.

    Palma family you didn’t finish the job.He should have left your home on a stretcher covered head to toe with a sheet on his way to the morgue & let the undertaker patch him up to make his body presentable for the funeral.

    Magistrates what are you guys thinking, he is out on bail committing new crimes & he is offered $6,000.00 bail?

    Does he have to kill one of these little girls before you decide he is not fit for the streets?

  2. MADDYVANDIJK/DEREALIST/DEPUNISHER says:

    What a nice family, they only delivered a good beating to this animal.
    That family should have killed this crazy little monkey slowly, and many times.

  3. Mr. B says:

    you ARE kidding me! He skipped several court appearances for rape. In ANY civilized country locating and arresting him would be a priority. Is it not obvious that letting such a scum bag out on bail is a danger to society. Good job to the girl to scream – very brave! Lock this scum bag up!
    Belizeans, get up and stand up for your rights and for your country. CHANGE YOUR COURT SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!! People become repeat offenders because THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES!!!!!! 95% of people accused of murder are NOT convicted! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    2 words………………………………………PRISON FARM………….BUILD IT IN TOLEDO.

    THEY FEED THEMSELVES, AND CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY.

    other wise ……………….. We have to feed these bums.

    THROW THE BOOK AT HIM!!!

  5. NINA says:

    I tell you what the beating that he get was not enough. He needed more, what side a the story he want to tell…he have no story to tell. They should have cut off his wieners so he cant rape any child again. I wish i was there to help beat his @ss. The entire community should have come out to tear him, beat him unconscious. Send him to his grave, then that would be one less parasite off the face of this earth. Belize let us start to take matters into our own hands. Let us show these animals that we have had enough of their bulls**t

  6. Edith says:

    So very very proud of these people. People are fighting back, they’re tired of being taken advantage of. He’s lucky they didn’t kill him, which I think would’ve been justified. Trying to rape the people kids,they should’ve castrated him, the bastard.
    Fight back Belize.

  7. Junia Dre says:

    I agree with Nina but maybe castration would be the best punishment…oh and dont foprget his fingers…friggin bastard……. feel free to check out a song called “Kill dem” here http://www.myspace.com/juniadre

  8. beemtheman says:

    he need to be put to sleep like a sick dog….

  9. deedee says:

    Hehehe….they whoop his @ss good, great job by the Palma family, they should have finish him off with a bullet to the head.

  10. fballer says:

    Guys, i think you can’t see it, but ask the animal’s doctor how his …. stand.

  11. Fedup says:

    What a dreadful shame. How will the judge still think of offering this guy bail?This guy is a menace to society. No one is safe anymore,not even sleeping in your own home. The only ones who are free are the criminals and rapists.

  12. sabuskii says:

    we should give the palma family the prosecuter job and the judges job they are doing a better job than the hindu abdulah cunt e

  13. Earl Grey says:

    MADDYVANDIJK/DRE-RACIST………………………..YOU ARE THE CRAZY MONKEY.

    THAT MUST BE THE WAY THE “POLITE DUTCH” LOOK AT YOU THERE IN AMSTERDAM.

    WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE A RACIST ?????????

  14. rastamanforever says:

    Kolbe officials…. can you please ensure this guy gets the traditional welcome to rapists???

    Let him FEEEL how it feels to be raped……… That may prove to be the best rehabilitation he may ever get……

    let that be the real consequence of his actions……. I know Kolbe has some big guys there…. let them match his ordeal on these little girls he wanted to “carnally know”….. he almost raped a much smaller person than him….. let’s get somebody much bigger than him then….
    then when he is finished with him ….let the big guy give “crazy” a chain…. not a gold one.. but a dog one….

    …..so “crazy” can be his …. in jail!!! That may really make him go crazy!!!

  15. Edith says:

    Earl gray that Maddy person just want attention. He/she constantly says foolishness to start people n get them riled up. I wouldn’t even waste my time saying anything to that racist …. Since “it” is in Europe it should stay there n keep “its” lips stuck to the “light colored people” …

  16. MADDYVANDIJK/DEREALIST/DEPUNISHER says:

    From reliable sources the crazy little money is still playing crazy, but enjoying taxpayers rice and beans. Someone please poison the little crazy monkey.

    Let him learn the hard way that it is true courage to suffer.

  17. Nikita Perez says:

    i believe that these people are committing crimes because they want to go to prison. the prison is like a home to them they get good treatment. they need to implement a new kind of judiciary system for criminal as of this kind. As parents yall need to open your eyes and smell the coffee. listen to ur child when they are making a complain. some of them don’t say but they are showing signs. be a attentive parent wise up. these day children is having children and that is what is causing so much crime they don’t know how to discipline a child because they are still babies. BELIZE needs some serious help.

  18. Nikita Perez says:

    this man deserve more than what he go. judges wise up and punish these people.

  19. Sweet Gem says:

    What the sh*** is wrong with these judges????? If it was my daughter i would have beat the …. to death….!!!! It’s true …u need to take justice in your own hands…cause the judges are not doing their job…

  20. ronzy says:

    All sexual offenders should have to re- locate to a certain area where they can be monitored and a picture of them should be given to their neighbours in a 2 or 3 mile radius depending on the size of the village, town or city. These offenders should also be ordered to sign in at the nearest police station atleast 3 times a week withiut fail. They chose the life and must live with it being monitored. If this doesn’t happen then we can clearly see the leaders dont care.

  21. BZNinCALI says:

    Ronzy,

    This criminal was known to the community, he was known to the Police, he was known to the courts. They failed these little girls.

    He needs to be relocated to jail for life. He is not crazy, he knew the neighborhood well enough to know which homes had adolescent girls in them, it is time to lose his di** & his freedom.

  22. Earl Grey says:

    MADDYVANDIJK / DER-RACIST………………

    YOU ARE THE CRAZY LITTLE MONKEY!!!

    STOP BEING SO RACIST!!!! THAT’S PROBABLY HOW THE DUTCH TREAT YOU……little monkey.

  23. Earl Grey says:

    Edith……….. WELL SAID.

  24. cali says:

    He should not be out on bail, and bails are set too low for these type of crime. He should be dead right know, that’s justice.

  25. Leteasa says:

    KILL HIM! KILL HIM! That’s what the family should have had in mind. Don’t give these monsters any more break. I have 2 daughters. Somebody please KILL HIM.

  26. Earl Grey says:

    Leteasa……….. We will let you kill him.

    Then you can be JUST LIKE HIM.

  27. blvnjah says:

    ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE TO START METTING OUT JUSTICE OURSELVES, BUT WE CANT DEPEND ON THE FOLKS THAT WERE ELECTED AND ARE BEING PAID TO PROTECT AND KEEP US SAFE.
