By Breaking Belize News Staff: Belize City resident, 34-year-old Karch Burns was charged this week for pulling a flare gun on a police sergeant.

Burns appeared in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court on Monday, charged with a single count of aggravated assault upon a police officer.

He showed up to court with his left eye black and blue but when asked if his injury was related to the cause, he said it wasn’t.

When asked if he understood the charge read to him he said he didn’t so an equivocal plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf.

He was granted bail in the sum of $2,000 plus one surety of the same. However, during his hearing, the court learned that he had outstanding payments from previous fines in the sum of $1,910. He was unable to pay his fine and was remanded to the Belize Central Prison until he is able to do so.

Burns is due back in court on April 14
