Bounty wants back passport
DANCEHALL kingpin Bounty Killer will know on Friday whether the court will return his passport so that he can travel to the Caribbean during the festive season.
The entertainer’s passport was seized as part of his bail condition when he was offered $500,000 bail on November 27 on a charge of unlawful wounding.
The charge stemmed form his arrest in September following an alleged incident at his Oaklands apartment in Kingston, where he reportedly attacked his 19-year-old lover, Raquel Smith using a hammer, a gold chain and mosquito zapper to beat her.
Yesterday his attorney Christopher Townsend presented the application for the variation of bail to Resident Magistrate Lorna Shelly Williams at the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court.
However, Shelly Williams told the attorney that she would peruse the document and inform him of her decision on Friday. The deejay, whose really name is Rodney Price seemed ‘cross, angry, and miserable’ due to the long wait before the matter was called up, had his bail extended until Friday.
Price will face trial on January 11 on the
matter despite the request of his lover to have the
case dismissed.
