A Maskall Resident is Arraigned for Robbery

Tonight, twenty-nine-year-old Jeremy Johnson from Maskall is out on bail after being arraigned in Belize City Magistrate’s Court on a robbery charge. The allegations against Johnson claim that on December thirteenth, 2024, in Maskall Village, he used force to steal forty-five dollars from Milton Reyes. During his arraignment, Johnson initially pleaded guilty with an explanation, insisting that he did not rob the man. Disagreeing with the police’s account and denying the offense, Johnson was granted bail of two thousand dollars and is scheduled to return to court in February 2025. As part of his bail conditions, Johnson must attend all court dates set by the Magistrate and must not be arrested or charged with any other offenses while out on bail, or his bail could be revoked.
