The artiste has been in custody since the recovery on Sunday, May 21, 2023

According to the police report, On Sunday, May 21, 2023, cops attached to St Catherine South division were on an operation in the Greater Portmore during which they had cause to search a house occupied by the unnamed artiste.

During the search, the police found a handgun hidden among clothing items.

The police took the female occupant into custody pending further investigation.

Many people are asking what further investigation the police need to do before they charge this woman for breaches under the New Firearms Act. A couple of days ago, they found a firearm in a house under similar circumstances and arrested and charged the occupants. And they did not withhold their names.

Fellow Jamaicans, this is what corruption looks like. The police are acting as judge and jury instead of enforcing the law.
