By Aaron Humes: A local food and beverage manager found himself behind bars following serious charges stemming from a disturbance at the Princess Hotel and Casino. Tyron Lee Humes, 40, was remanded to the Belize Central Prison after being accused of two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, an allegation he has denied.

The incident reportedly occurred in the early hours of Sunday, January 12, when Humes allegedly threatened an older man and his female partner with a firearm as they were approaching their parked vehicle near the Princess on Newtown Barracks. According to police reports, the couple were returning to their green Honda van around 12:40 a.m. when they noticed two men tampering with their vehicle.

Eyewitness accounts suggest that upon confronting the suspects, Humes brandished a firearm, allegedly aiming it at the complainant and causing him to retreat in fear for his life. Bowen reportedly attempted to call the police for assistance, at which point one of the suspects punched him, resulting in injury and damage to his Motorola cell phone valued at $200.

Humes appeared unrepresented before a Senior Magistrate to answer to the charges. The nature of the allegations led to his bail being denied under the Crimes Control and Criminal Justice Act, resulting in his remand to custody until his next court date on February 28.
