Police hold two firearms for Micah Goodin; weapons still being tested in Barracks incident

By Aaron Humes: As we previously reported, Commissioner of Police Chester Williams has written Belize City Councilor Micah Goodin and Tarique James, involved in a shooting incident with a traffic warden on Newtown Barracks a few weeks ago, to show cause as to why they should continue to be licensed for their weapons.

The Commissioner told reporters that a second firearm has been removed from Goodin’s residence, but that no decision has been made as yet: “I know that police had gone to Micah’s house and removed another licensed firearm that he had because he had two licensed firearms and he has since been written to asking for him to show cause why his gun license should not be lifted… I cannot at this stage prematurely state that his license will be revoked, that would be tantamount to making a decision without having given him the opportunity to be heard and so I will await for his response to the letter that was written to him and based on his response then I will determine whether or not the license will be revoked…”

The weapons are still being tested and if it is established that they were being used or even carried while intoxicated, as the Commissioner previously detailed, then that may be grounds for revocation.
