COPS SEEK MAVADO - Deejay to be quizzed in Anchovy incident

PAULA GORDON, STAR Writer

Dancehall deejay Mavado, whose real name is David Brooks, may be in trouble with the law yet again.

THE STAR has been informed that a report was filed against the deejay and a member of his entourage at the Anchovy Police Station in St James.

The police are reporting that about 7 p.m., on Friday, the 51-year-old complainant and his 17-year-old son were travelling along Belmont Road, St James, when they came upon a group of vehicles travelling in a procession.

It is alleged that the complainant stopped at a section of the roadway to allow the procession to pass.

After letting through a number of vehicles, an argument developed between the complainant and Mavado. It is understood that the argument developed after the deejay told the complainant that his vehicle could not pass in the allotted space.

Reports are that Mavado then used his vehicle to hit the complainant's vehicle causing damages to the front door and injuries to his hand.

Following this, a member of the deejay's entourage allegedly alighted from another vehicle and used a machete to slap the complainant's son on his mouth.

The Anchovy police yesterday confirmed the incident and are seeking the deejay.

In recent times, Mavado has had a number of run-ins with the law. In May, he was charged with malicious destruction of property, and in June, he was charged with assault following an incident at the Quad nightclub in New Kingston where his friend Conroy Edwards was shot and killed by a policeman.
