“He is in police custody because of an investigation into criminal gang activity in Seaview Gardens and surrounding areas. The police have been doing their investigation for a while and the police had reached a point in their investigation where they’ve taken him and several other men into custody. I can’t say much more because the investigation is at a sensitive stage,” she told Claude Mills, ONE876 SENIOR EDITOR.

Attorney-at-law Peter Champagnie has been approached to act as counsel for the ‘No Underwear’ singer.
