Cop Charged for Allegedly Pulling Gun on Wife

Tonight, a police officer is on remand at the Belize Central Prison pending a bail application for the offenses of aggravated assault with a firearm and harm upon his wife after she accused him of pointing a gun in her direction and injuring her during a domestic dispute. He is thirty-nine-year-old Myron Williams, a policeman originally from Corozal District employed and residing in Belize City. Allegations made by Williams’ wife are that on Saturday, around four forty-two a.m., her husband arrived home and from about two feet away pulled out his gun and pointed it in her direction, while accusing her of infidelity. According to the woman, she told him she was with a female friend and that is when he removed the magazine from the gun. The police were called in and Williams’ wife made a report and requested court action. Williams appeared unrepresented in court this morning where he pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly instrument. Due to the nature of the offense, no bail could be offered, and he was remanded to the Belize Central Prison until August sixteenth, 2024. Although appearing unrepresented in court today, Williams told the magistrate that he has legal representation. However, his attorney could not be at his arraignment today.
