“Wow! again”, and “A wah really a gwaan”, are some of the reactions from social media users following the news that popular Dancehall producer Shab Don is once again in police custody.
According to the Jamaica Constabulary Force, Linval Thompson, otherwise called Shab Don, was taken into custody by members of the Joint Anti-Gang Task Force (JAGTF). He was arrested during a targeted operation in the St. Catherine South division on Friday, June 3, following preliminary investigations into several incidents.
Shab Don, who has been identified as a Person of Interest in the recent triple murder and wounding with intent in Rose Heights, St. James, on May 25th, will be questioned in the coming days in the presence of his attorney.
In April, Shab Don was freed of gun-related charges. However, his legal troubles are far from over, around the same time, Shab Don was accused of offering a police officer $2 million to get rid of an illegal gun in a case he had been previously charged with.
He was charged with a breach of the Corruption Prevention Act, and is to appear in court on June 9, when the corruption charge is set for mention.
