By Breaking Belize News Staff: A man charged for stealing money from his own girlfriend was free to go this week after she showed up to court to drop the charges.

Thirty-six-year-old Ervin Zelaya appeared in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, charged with a single count of theft in relation to $55 stolen from his 24-year-old girlfriend.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge and then she took the stand to inform the court she did not want any further court action. The court inquired of her if she was being threatened, forced, or otherwise coerced, but she maintained that she was dropping the charge of her own free will.

With that, Zelaya was free to leave for want of prosecution.

The reported theft occurred on December 9.
