Party Promoter Detained.......charges pending

A popular party promoter was detained over the weekend at a Police station in central Jamaica after he was extracted from his venue early Sunday morning.
Around 3am on Sunday a 6 male and 1 female Police patrol with a bailiff arrived at the popular venue in the height of the party session. They instructed the DJs to stop the music but it was noticeable that they were not present to stop the party under the Noise Abatement Act.

Three of the officers had flashlights combing the crowd and they asked for the promoter/owner.
Several of the officers had their vest numbers covered and one assumed officer in particular who was not so friendly was out of uniform, when questioned by patrons as to why they weren't displaying their numbers as required by law, the plain clothes officer left the interior and stepped outside the building. The female officer however proceeded to explain that they were called to find and detain the party promoter and they asked for him by name, by this time numbers were displayed by 3 of the officers who were on the inside, the others waited outside the club.

The party promoter identified himself and after changing out of his drag attire was escorted to his car, by this the female officer continued to explain that he was wanted for questioning for fraud and other matters.
The officers left soon afterwards and the party continued incident free.

Up until post time it is not yet known if the charges were filed and by whom.
We will keep you posted.

Peace
