“Sweet buoy Caine” Remanded for Assaulting Traffic Officer

On Tuesday, a traffic officer was assaulted by up to three people, and tonight, one of the culprits caught on viral amateur footage is behind bars. The suspect, thirty-one-year-old Evan Nicholas Cain, a part-time bus conductor and caregiver from Biscayne Village, was brought to court this morning. Shortly before ten o’clock, Cain, who appeared without a lawyer, was read a single charge of aggravated assault on traffic officer Kenrick Deshield, a public officer performing his duties. Cain immediately pleaded guilty, saying, ‘I wah plead guilty, Mam”. The magistrate, exercising caution, asked if Cain understood what assault meant, to which he replied that he believed he did. After hearing the case details, Cain maintained his guilty plea. When asked what he wanted the court to consider before sentencing, Cain said, “I just want to get over this and get back home to care for my mom”. The magistrate noted his lack of remorse and asked if he wanted to apologize. Cain responded that he would apologize if given the chance, but the officer was not present. The magistrate explained the seriousness of the offense, emphasizing that Deshield was a public officer on duty. She decided to remand Cain pending sentencing and planned to summon the traffic officer so Cain could apologize in person. Cain was remanded to Belize Central Prison until next Wednesday, December fourth, 2024.
