Accused Drug Traffickers denied bail
Three men who Police say were nabbed on Wednesday at a checkpoint in Ladyville with a hefty load of marijuana were today denied bail when they appeared before Senior Magistrate, Aretha Ford. The men, Ian Poot from Patchakan Village, Corozal, and Edwin Bowen and Eustace Andrews from Belize City, appeared with their attorneys, Ellis Arnold and Richard “Dickie” Bradley to answer to the charges before them. Poot, the nephew of former Deputy Prime Minister Hugo Patt, is accused of using a truck that is registered in the name of his two uncles, Hugo and Pedro Patt in the alleged trafficking of the drugs.  Patt, who is now the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, has disassociated himself from the incident, issuing a release this evening saying he has no knowledge of what occurred, and denounced drug trafficking activities. Attorney Bradley spoke with News Five following the men’s arraignment, Bradley accused the police of abusing their authority when they detained a larger group of men pending charges.
