Jose Sanchez charged for attacking supervisor with crowbar

Jose Sanchez

Drinking on the job is sufficient grounds for termination. So what does getting intoxicated and attacking a supervisor get you? Twenty-three year old Jose Alfredo Sanchez found out the hard way and had to answer to a charge of Grievous Harm in court today. Sanchez pleaded not guilty and told Magistrate Sharon Frazer that he was drunk when the alleged incident occurred and he cannot remember lashing out. One the other hand, his former employer, forty-five year old Alcides Pena, is claiming that on January twenty-second he went to his workplace on Map Street and instructed Sanchez and another employee to go into another room. He says the men began cursing and that Sanchez picked up a crowbar and hit him in the head. He fell to the ground and as Sanchez was allegedly about to hit him again, other employees intervened and stopped him. It took police two months to detain Sanchez and when he finally appeared in court today, he was granted bail of a thousand dollars and will return to court on May fourth.

    i think he has a nice shirt on. I’m sure that crowbar hit was worth a thosuand dollars. I know plenty people who would gladly pay $2,000 to hit their boss and CEO on the head. Kudos to Jose for having the courage to do what many Belizeans want to do!
