In a highly charged courtroom drama on November 25, 2025, Wenseslao Garrido-Veilz, a 43-year-old Guatemalan dollar van driver accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl, was granted bail despite strong objections from police prosecutors. The emotional scene saw Garrido-Veilz break down in tears as he pleaded not guilty, first in Spanish and then in English, stating, “Thank you God…I neva touch dah young lady.” The case stems from allegations that on a Saturday, the teenager boarded his van on Cemetery Road. After dropping off other passengers, Garrido-Veilz allegedly drove her to a secluded feeder road near Cisco on the George Price Highway, where he inappropriately touched her. A medical examination confirmed physical harm. Prosecutors argued that Garrido-Veilz posed a flight risk, but he countered by emphasizing his family ties in the country and lack of a passport. The court set bail at $5,000 with stringent conditions: no contact with the victim, no international travel, and mandatory weekly police check-ins. Garrido-Veilz is scheduled to return to court on January 13, 2025, as the case continues to unfold.
