THE attorney representing alleged gang leader 39-year-old Marious Alanzo Davis, better known as Bredda Dog, say he has made arrangements for his client to turn himself in to the police come Monday following claims that he issued death threats to members of the Portland Police Division.

On Friday news broke that the police in Portland had been put on high alert following reports that they could face reprisals for the fatal shooting of two alleged members of the Corporate Area-based Gully Gang early Wednesday morning in Sherwood Forest, east Portland.

The men were killed in what the police reported was a shoot-out, and were later identified as 21-year-old Troy McKenzie and 21-year-old Marlon Lewis. The police also reported that two illegal firearms were seized after the men were shot.

Police sources later reported that Davis was spotted near the Port Antonio Police Station hours after the fatal shooting and had vowed revenge.

But on Friday attorney-at-law Rodain Richardson, who has been retained by Davis, told the Jamaica Observer that his client rejects the claim — that has been circulating in social media with his image attached — that he had threatened to kill cops following the fatal shooting of the two men.

“We are strongly refuting the claims that Mr Davis has made threats against the Jamaica Constabulary Force and intends to allow his name to be cleared in the appropriate manner. I find this development to be quite curious. We intend to get a full appreciation at the appropriate time as to what exactly is unfolding. Mr Davis has no involvement with respect to any threat being made,” said Richardson.

He added that his client is concerned about media reports which labelled him a wanted man and accused him of being linked to multiple major crimes in Jamaica and the United States.

According to Richardson, his client is a law-abiding citizen and a contributing member of the society.

“He is… currently in the business of poultry, where he has some number of chickens which he is intending to sell. On seeing the reports, my client made contact with me and I in turn made contact with a superintendent from the Portland division for Mr Davis to attend the Port Antonio Police Station. A time has been set and the place. We will be there. Anything of note about his past is just that — his past,” Richardson said.
