Judge demands raw footage of Skeng’s alleged altercation at NMIA

Judge demands raw footage of Skeng’s alleged altercation at NMIA

KINGSTON, Jamaica – A judge ruled on Monday that the raw footage of an alleged altercation between dancehall artiste, Skeng, and Norman Manley International Airport (NMIA) authorities be made available by the artiste’s next court date.

The ruling was made during a court appearance by the ‘Protocol’ deejay in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court in Half-Way-Tree on Monday. He will next appear in court on March 9 next year.

He is facing charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in relation to an alleged incident, which occurred at the NMIA in June this year.

The Crown had the opportunity to view the security camera footage of the area, where the alleged scuffle took place and a determination was made that the raw footage of the entire incident be made available to the defence.

“The judge determined that the footage was edited and made a request that the full raw footage be made available by the next court date,” the deejay’s high profile attorney-at-law, Christopher Townsend said.

Townsend also said that the edited footage was not sufficient.

“What we wanted was the raw footage, but what we got was an edited footage. And the part where he was pepper sprayed, we didn’t see that to make a determination as to whether the pepper spray was warranted. We maintained it was never warranted as we weren’t doing anything,” he said.

According to police reports, Skeng, whose given name is Kevaun Douglas, was involved in a confrontation with officials at the NMIA at about 1:50 pm in May. During the incident, he was allegedly pepper sprayed by the police.

He was attempting to board a flight to Trinidad, where he was headliner of an event dubbed the Revival Return of Dancehall on May 28.

Skeng is known for hits such as Likkle Miss remix with Nicky Minaj, Protocol, Heaven Passport (with Intence), Gunman Shift, London, and Street Cred.
