By BBN Staff: Tonight, Majestic Alley resident, 28-year-old Stephen Barrington Flowers is on remand at the Belize Central Prison after being unable to post bail, being charged for allegedly attacking and stabbing a police officer.

Flowers, who appeared unrepresented in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court is accused of being one of a group of three men that attacked Police Constable Akeem Jones on January 14.

In court, Flowers could barely stand and explained to the court that he has a fractured skull and is on medication for it. Flowers pleaded not guilty to the charge of wounding and began to explain to the court his story, but he was told that since he entered a not guilty plea, he would save his explanation for his next court appearance.

Bail was granted to him in the sum of $1,500 plus one surety of the same, which he was unable to meet at the time. He will remain on remand at the prison until he can post his bail.

Flowers is due back in court on April 4.

In a report to police, 27-year-old PC Akeem Jones reported that while at the corner of Water Lane and West Street, Belize City he was approached and attacked by three people.

According to PC Jones, the first person hit him behind the head and neck and a fight ensued. The second attacker stabbed him behind his right ear and left arm.
