When Ricky Valencia was granted bail on October twenty-ninth, it took him four days to come up with the eight thousand dollars. But today the twenty-seven year old Belize City resident, who is accused in the June first shooting of Attorney Rodwell Williams, was sent back to Hattieville. One of the bail conditions was that Valencia was to stay out of trouble, but this morning he was charged with Handling Stolen Goods. He was offered bail of two thousand dollars for that charge, but then had to appear before the Chief Magistrate for breaching the previous conditions. Valencia claimed he did nothing wrong and that his arrest was just a malicious act by officers who wanted him sent back to prison. Police, on the other hand, say he was arrested on Monday night because he was seen with a motorcycle that was stolen on November seventh. Valencia’s bail was revoked and he is now back on remand at the Central Prison until December twenty-first when he returns to court on the stolen goods charge. He also reappears on December ninth, along with Akeem Thurton for the Attempted Murder of Williams.
