Police Constable Barrington Mai (Flowers), who is under investigation for allegedly aiding in the abduction of Joseph Budna in Orange Walk Town, Belize, has been shifted from interdiction to full-pay suspension. Initially interdicted on September 8, 2025, Mai was placed on half-salary and stripped of his police powers pending the investigation. However, on October 3, 2025, Acting Commissioner of Police Bartholomew Jones issued a new order, suspending Mai from active duty but restoring his full salary and returning the withheld half-salary from September 12 to October 3. The case, which has drawn significant public attention, remains under investigation, and Mai has consistently denied the allegations, asserting his innocence. Jones emphasized that if the investigation finds Mai guilty of misconduct, he will face a disciplinary tribunal.
