Veteran entertainer Glendon 'Admiral' Bailey pleaded guilty to the charge of disturbing the peace in his 1991 song Jump Up on the Kuff Rhythm. But on Monday, he was not arrested for disturbing the peace. Instead, he was slapped with several fraud-related charges.

The entertainer, who enjoyed great success during the mid-1980s, and is known for songs such as Big Belly Man, Science Again and Tiney Winey, among others, was arrested and charged after attending the Passport Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA) offices.

It is reported that about 10:30 a.m., Bailey attempted to renew a passport in the name Michael George Sullivan.

During the renewal process, his true identity was revealed, subsequently investigators from PICA detained him.

He was charged two counts of uttering forged documents; two counts of obtaining passport by false pretence; two counts of possession of forged documents; one count of attempting to obtain a passport by false pretence and one count of conspiracy to defraud.
