Vybz Kartel gives himself up

To spend the night behind bars

POPULAR entertainer Vybz Kartel gave himself up to the police minutes after 9:00 am today.

Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adijah Palmer, went to the Greater Portmore police station accompanied by his attorney Christian Tavares-Finson.

He was named as a person of interest by the St Catherine South Police two days ago and despite expressing his willingness to be interviewed by the police, Vybz Kartel never made good on his word.

He will spend tonight behind bars as the police say he will be questioned tomorrow.

The entertainer has had an embattled year after being banned from performing in St Lucia and Barbados. He is also banned from entering the United States.
