    According to the Police Commissioner, Taylor had attempted to enter Belize legally over the weekend via the northern border but was denied entry by immigration officials. “We’re still wondering how he eventually came in, but again, we all know the porous nature of the border. So, he might have come in illegally.”

    Police believe Taylor may have been involved in a disturbance at a pool hall in the Corozal Free Zone the night before the hijacking. “It seems he’s a problematic person,” Williams added. “So that is what we know of him to date — the fact that he’s a U.S. veteran.”

    So he broke in, caused a ruckus, and hijacked a plane to leave again?

    The whole world is turning against Americans. Used to be you could hijack a plane and they’d let it slide.
