ComPol’s Brother, Roy Williams, Charged Again

Commissioner of Police Chester Williams has once again ordered the detention of his brother and the Crimes Investigation Branch wasted no time arresting and charging Arthur Roy Williams for an alleged social media post that was in circulation over the weekend.  This morning, Williams appeared before the lower court for another charge which was brought against him back in February.  Upon the conclusion of that matter, he was approached by C.I.B. personnel who informed him of the reason he was being detained.  It is alleged that on June twentieth, Williams posted a questionable Facebook message.  That message was immediately recorded by the Cyber Crimes Unit.  When asked if he believes that he has violated the terms of his bail condition, Williams said the post for which he is being blamed was simply forwarded to him by someone else.  In February, Williams was charged with two counts of using a computer system to disseminate false statement with the intent to cause another person to be subject to ridicule or embarrassment, and one count of using a computer system to publish computer data to intimidate a person.  The condition of the bail stipulated that he was not to use any form of social media to speak about his brother, Commissioner of Police Chester Williams, or any member of the Belize Police Department.
