By Breaking Belize News Staff: What began as a traffic accident on Fabers Road Extension has resulted in multiple criminal charges for a Belize City mechanic.
Twenty-seven-year-old Joshua “J.J.” Jones of #Booths Crescent appeared before Senior Magistrate Mannon Dennison in Court #6, where he was read four charges: burglary, damage to property, threat of death, and driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention. He pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Jones was granted bail on all matters, securing three separate bails: $7,000 plus two sureties of $3,500 each for burglary and damage to property; $300 plus one surety for the threat of death charge; and $4,000 plus one surety for the traffic offense.
The charges stem from two separate incidents reported on March 23, 2026.
Police say that around 4:30 a.m., Jones was driving a white 2017 Ford Transit van along Fabers Road Extension when he collided with a parked Caterpillar backhoe. The impact caused significant damage to the front of the van and the rear of the backhoe. No injuries were reported, but police concluded that Jones was at fault and charged him for driving without due care and attention.
Later that morning, at about 9:25 a.m., police received a report from a 36-year-old woman of Miller Street, who alleged that Jones, her ex-boyfriend, entered her home without permission and was found holding her iPhone 14 Pro Max valued at $2,500. She reported that after being forced out of the house, Jones damaged several windows, including aluminum louvers, by striking them with a piece of board.
In a separate allegation, Jones is accused of threatening another woman on March 15, 2026, reportedly telling her, “I will shoot and kill you and finish your sister tonight.”
Jones is due back in court on May 12, 2026.
