JAMAICA - The Jamaican police have an outstanding warrant for the arrest of international dancehall star Mavado, a police official and the entertainer’s attorney have confirmed to The Gleaner.
Mavado, whose real name is David Brooks, is wanted for assault occasioning actual bodily harm arising from an incident in 2018, Deputy Superintendent Randy Sweeney, head of the St Andrew North Police, revealed. Sweeney declined to disclose details of the alleged assault.
Oswest Senior-Smith, one of the entertainer’s attorneys, acknowledged that he had been “officially notified” of the warrant, which was issued on June 9, 2018. According to Senior-Smith, the warrant is based on a complaint by Anthony Goulbourne.
Goulbourne’s complaint was made after he was arrested and charged by the police for allegedly shooting at Mavado in June 2018, the attorney noted. “He has always denied any offence that could give rise to a warrant and particularly the assault that is alleged. That has always been his position,” Senior-Smith said during an interview with The Gleaner on Friday. (The Gleaner)
