After escaping twice while at the KHMH, Frank Trapp has been re-captured and is under heavily armed guards awaiting arraignment for theft, abduction and assault.

Island taxi driver 26-year-old Frank Trapp will be arraigned in Belize City on Wednesday, July 17th for theft, abduction, and assault. Trapp is accused of having stolen jewelry, beaten and allegedly kidnapping his ex-girlfriend. A police report stated that Trapp's ex-girlfriend reported that on July 13th, Trapp broke into her house and stole $1,700 worth of jewellery. He abducted her after midnight and forced her into his taxi van. While on Seagrape Drive, she managed to jump out of the vehicle. At the same time, a police vehicle was passing by and Trapp sped away; subsequently hitting a concrete fence at a very high-speed.

Trapp was assisted and taken to the Dr. Otto Rodriguez San Pedro Polyclinic II, from where he was airlifted to Belize City. Even as he was recovering from a cracked skull, he managed to escape from KHMH on Sunday, July 14th, and made his way back to San Pedro. His ex-girlfriend told police that Trapp went after her and was again abducted and assaulted. Trapp was quickly apprehended and charged. Because San Pedro's Magistrate is on leave, Trapp was transported to Belize to be arraigned on Monday, July 15th. However, because of his condition, he needed medical attention, and while waiting for a doctor at the KHMH he managed to escape for a second time around 4:30PM.

This time he did not run to San Pedro, but to northern Belize. He was re-captured on Tuesday, July 16th at around 10AM in Corozal Town and transported under heavily armed guards to Belize City where he will be arraigned at the Magistrate Court for his offences.

Well, that is a bizarre story. It goes to show you how far people will go for crimes of passion. I hope that the girlfriend will press charges, testify and get him locked up for a long time for those crimes. She must have been terrified.
