Not So Fast! Despite Bail, Cameron Williams is Swept Up Under S.O.E.

The existing state of emergency proves that no one suspected of being involved in gang activity is above being collared, even at the courts.  That’s what happened today when Police Street resident Cameron Williams was granted bail after being charged for being the member of a gang.  The twenty-one-year-old, immediately following his court appearance earlier today, was snatched up by officers who detained him and placed him on remand at the Belize Central Prison under the S.O.E.  Williams was before the lower courts on a single charge and upon being granted bail of five thousand dollars, plus one surety of the same amount, he was informed by the prosecutor that he is a person of interest under the state of emergency.  Before he could process his bail, Williams, who has been in custody at the Belize Central Prison since May eighth, will spend an additional ninety days in jail.
