Kartel to answer drug possession charge today
VYBZ Kartel and Alicia Jackson, a female companion who was arrested with him last Friday, will answer to ganja possession charges in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court this morning.
Cops from the Flying Squad swooped down on a hotel room the artiste and his associates occupied and found a small quantity of ganja. All four were arrested and charged. He was taken to three properties he frequents in the Corporate Area and Portmore, St Catherine were searches were conducted by the Caribbean Search Centre. A number of items were seized.
Police also report that a body was found inside a burnt out house the deejay is frequents in Havendale, St Andrew two weeks ago.
On Monday he was charged in connection with the murder of 27-year-old Barrington Burton, also called Bossie, who was shot and killed as he stood among a group of friends on Walkers Crescent in Gregory Park, St Catherine in July.
The deejay has twice this week been brought to court to answer to murder, and gun possession charges but that case has failed to get off the ground due to administrative blunders.
