Three Men Charged for Being Members of a Gang

Late this evening, three men were arraigned on charges of being members of a gang.  Twenty-three-year-old Kenyon Flores, twenty-four-year-old Julian Woodye, and Allen Anderson Junior appeared in the lower courts where they were each read a single charge of being a member of a gang.  Woodye was unrepresented in court and before he entered a plea, he asked the Senior Magistrate for a sentencing indication, and subsequently pleaded guilty.  He was remanded to the Belize Central Prison until May twentieth, 2024.  Anderson, a resident of Manta Ray Boulevard in Ladyville, also pleaded guilty.  He informed the court that he was just released from prison in January and was concerned that upon his return to the facility he will be placed in solitary confinement.  Last to be arraigned was Kenyon Flores, no stranger to the court.  He has three ongoing cases before the court, including one for harm.  He was placed on pretrial detention until June seventh.
