Detained For Lighting Fireworks During Election Celebration

Election celebrations often come with fireworks, and we saw plenty of them in various constituencies, including Orange Walk Central, where Prime Minister John Briceño secured his seat. However, in Port Loyola, things took a turn when a relative of Gilroy Usher got into hot water with the police for setting off fireworks. After searching his vehicle, officers found even more fireworks. The individual cooperated with the police and was eventually detained. We asked ComPol Williams for his take on the incident.

“He was detained for an investigation; police officers are dealing with that matter at this time and then we will see how that goes from there.”

“So, he may be facing charges?”

“At this time, there is nothing to say he can be charged, but the investigation is still ongoing.”
