Shab Don heads to court today for bribery charge

KINGSTON, Jamaica— Embattled dancehall producer Linval ‘Shab Don’ Thompson Jr will appear in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court Tuesday to answer to a bribery charge.

The producer is accused of offering $2 million to a policeman to remove an illegal firearm from his motorcar before it was searched by the police.

Thompson, who was charged with illegal possession of firearm and ammunition in relation to the said illegal weapon, was, however, freed of the gun charges in April.

READ: Shab Don freed of gun charges

Attorney-at-law Donahue Martin, who is representing Thompson, declined to comment on the status of an impending bail application for his client who is facing three counts of murder in the St James Parish Court on July 26.

The producer, who was implicated in a triple murder in Rose Heights, St James, was remanded in custody when he made his first appearance on June 22.

He is charged for the shooting deaths of 27-year-old Chadwell Frazer, otherwise called ‘Bomb Brain’ or ‘Chad’; 24-year-old Chamario ‘Chippy’ Calvin; and 26-year-old Toniann ‘Too Fly’ Reid.

The men were shot dead at a birthday party on Marl Road in Rose Heights on May 25.

READ: UPDATE: Shab Don charged with murder

Thompson was arrested by police in June during a targeted operation in the St Catherine South police division following preliminary investigations into several incidents.
