dinner in San Ignacio According to the prosecution’s account, an officer noticed Willis move a hand from the bicycle handle toward his waist, where police subsequently found a knife with a four-inch cutting edge. Police say that after being informed of the offence, Willis told officers: “I always have my knife on me because yuh neva know.” In court, Willis disputed the officer’s claim that he had reached toward his waist when police approached him, telling the Senior Magistrate, “Dat dah nuh really deh truth.” He nevertheless admitted that he had the knife and said he did not want to waste the court’s time by contesting the matter. The Magistrate accepted his guilty plea and imposed a fine of $150 plus $5 cost of court. Willis has until October 30, 2026, to pay the $155 or face one month in prison in default. Under Belize’s Crime Control and Criminal Justice Act, a person may commit an offence by having a bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. The law exempts folding pocket knives with cutting edges not exceeding three inches and also provides a defence where a person can show the item was being carried for work, lawful authority or another good reason. Willis’ knife was reported to have a four-inch cutting edge.
