Brother of ComPol Out on Bail for $1000

Arthur Roy Williams, the brother of Commissioner of Police Chester Williams, is out on bail after being charged, once again, for posting about his brother online. In February, the fifty-three-year-old was charged for using a computer system to disseminate false statement with the intent to cause another person to be subject to ridicule or embarrassment, and for using a computer system to publish computer data to intimidate a person. One of the conditions for bail on these charges is that Williams was not to post anything about the Commissioner of Police or the Belize Police Department; however, allegations are that he violated the conditions.  He appeared in court today, where he was read the single charge of contempt of judicial order. Williams appeared unrepresented and pleaded not guilty to the charge. Tonight, he is out after meeting bail of one thousand dollars. He is due back in court on August twentieth, 2024.
