Jamaican artiste held by cops with toy rifles enroute to video shoot

Kalado was held with three water guns and taken to a police station yesterday.

(Jamaica Observer) Dancehall artise Kalado had a brief encounter with the law yesterday over what police officers thought were three high-powered rifles found in his possession.

It was reported that the police apprehended the entertainer, whose given name is Eton Gordon, in Lakes Pen, Spanish Town in St Catherine as he was making his way to Portmore.

He was taken into custody, however, upon closer inspection, it was found that the weapons were fake.

“The guns weren’t real, they were water guns,” a district constable at the constabulary’s Corporate Communications Unit (CCU) informed OBSERVER ONLINE.

She further disclosed that Kalado was on his way to a video shoot at the time.

The artiste was subsequently released.
