Cops clear ‘Bredda Dog’, says lawyer

Attorney at law Rodain Richardson says his client, Marious Alanzo Davis, better known as ‘Bredda Dog’, was cleared by the police on Tuesday following an interview which satisfied them that allegations of Davis threatening cops were unfounded.

“I am confirming that a meeting was held with the police high command with the director of investigations on Tuesday April 28, 2026. Following this discussion the High Command was satisfied that the allegations were unfounded as it relates to Mr Davis and an alert which was purported to have been issued by the Portland division,” Richardson told the Jamaica Observer–

“I am also confirming that I am in receipt of communication that Mr Davis is no longer needed in Portland. This came after intensive discussions and thorough investigations which supported that Mr Davis was in fact innocent of the allegations as we have always maintained,” he added.

The attorney added that Davis now hopes he will be given the opportunity to continue doing his lawful business and promote positive values.

“He shared that he is also asking young men to support the Jamaica Constabulary Force and the work they are doing because certainly, Jamaica has seen good results from the positive work from the Jamaica Constabulary Force,” Richardson said.

After Davis became frantic and very concerned by claims that he threatened the police, He asked Richardson to make arrangements for him to go in and clear his name. Richardson told the Observer on Friday, April 24, that arrangements were made for him to go in to the police on Monday, April 27.

It was being widely circulated that the police in Portland had been placed on high alert following reports that they could face reprisals for the fatal shooting of 21-year-old troy McKenzie and 21-year-old Marlon Lewis. McKenzie and Lewis were killed in an alleged shootout with the police on Wednesday, April 22 in Sherwood Forest, east Portland. Two illegal firearms were reportedly taken from the men following the shootout.

Both men are said to be members of the Corporate Area-based Gully Gang.

Following their deaths, reports began swirling that Davis was spotted near the Port Antonio Police Station hours later and had vowed revenge.

Last week, Richardson told the Observer that Davis refuted the claims.

Richardson charged that his client was a law-abiding citizen and a contributing member of society who was being targeted and judged based on mistakes he may have made in the past.

“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.
