For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ We also asked the acting Commissioner of Police about the case against thirty-three-year-old Carlos Lopez and thirty-seven-year-old Peter Schmidt. Earlier this week, the duo walked free of charges for the trafficking of five kilos of cocaine and possession of firearm and ammunition without a gun license. By all accounts, the prosecution had an ironclad case; the men were caught on surveillance camera orchestrating the crime at a cafe in the Buttonwood Bay area, before they were busted red-handed with the drugs and weapons in December of 2017. So an officer showing up late to the court, which led to the case being thrown out against the men, appears even criminal. Chester Williams confirmed today that that officer will go before a tribunal and that Lopez and Schmidt will be rearrested and charged for the crime.
