BELIZE CITY, Thurs. Aug. 20, 2009

            Jamil Flowers, 29, a farmer of Biscayne Village who the Police reported they busted with a SA AR 15 assault rifle and 4 rounds of .223 calibre ammunition, was charged with keeping an unlicensed firearm and ammunition when he appeared in the #7 Magistrate’s Court on Monday, August 17. Flowers was first charged with keeping a prohibited firearm but the charge was changed because the rifle did not fall into the category of prohibited firearm. 

Flowers pled not guilty to the charge. Magistrate Edd P. Usher explained to him that the Court could not offer him bail because of the nature of the offences. He remanded Flowers into custody until September 17. Flowers was represented by attorney Dickie Bradley.

            The incident occurred early Friday morning, August 14 in Biscayne. The Police reported that when they searched an enclosed section of the verandah of a bungalow house they found the rifle and ammunition. According to the Police, Flowers was living in the section of the house where the firearm and ammunition were found.

            His aunt, Olive Dawson, 76, the owner of the house was in the main part of the house at the time. She was detained by the Police. But the Police decided not to charge her after they reviewed the circumstances of the case at the request of Dickie Bradley. Ms. Dawson resides in the United States. She came to Belize to attend a funeral.
