Popular deejay Bounty Killer has once again found himself on the wrong side of the law.

The artiste, born Rodney Pryce, was arrested by police early yesterday after being found in possession of marijuana.

THE STAR learnt that Bounty was spotted at a popular venue in New Kingston, St Andrew earlier, celebrating a friend's birthday.

About 4:30 a.m., he left but was stopped by an unmarked police vehicle at the intersection of Grenada Avenue and Knutsford Boulevard in New Kingston.

It is further reported that during a subsequent search, Pryce was found with a 'spliff' and a small bag containing less than four ounces of ganja.

He was taken to the New Kingston Police Post where he was formally charged. He is to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on October 15 to answer to that charge.

This incident brings to three, the number of cases which Pryce has before the courts.

He is to return to court on November 11 when a illegal firearm case against him will continue. He also has a case before the Traffic Court in which he is accused of obstructing traffic, disobeying a red light and refusing to take a breathalyser test.

Bounty Killer is known for songs such as Fed up and Look.
