spanish town:

The Caymanas Police in Portmore, St. Catherine, say they have a warrant for the arrest of entertainer Adijah 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer for malicious destruction of property.

Destroyed furniture

A senior investigator said that on September 4 at about 11 a.m., Palmer went to the house of his child's mother in Christian Pen, St. Catherine, and, after a dispute, a machete was used to smash several appliances and furniture, including a television, stereo, bed, and wardrobe valued at approx-imately $200,000.

Arrest warrant

The police say that after a statement was collected from the complainant, they unsuccessfully attempted to contact the enter-tainer. As a result, a warrant has been ordered for his arrest and is at the Caymanas Police Station.

Last week, Vybz Kartel had three charges dismissed in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court for want of prosecution from an incident involving another entertainer Desmond 'Ninja Man' Ballentine at Sting 2003.
