(Jamaica Observer) BEENIE Man is scheduled to appear in the St Elizabeth Parish Court on February 10 for breaches of the Disaster Risk Management Act (DRMA) and the Noise Abatement Act.

The dancehall deejay turned up at the Black River Police Station in St. Elizabeth on Thursday where he was charged with the two offences.

Earlier that day, the St Elizabeth police said they were in possession of a summons to be served on Corporate Area-based deejay for breaching the Disaster Risk Management Act (DRMA) at an event held on November 29 in the parish.

“The summons is ready… The serving was a problem because he does not live in the parish, but I hear he is here [in St Elizabeth] quite frequently. So since he is going to be here at a party, might as well [the police] get everything together one time,” Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Narda Simms, head of the St Elizabeth police division, told the Jamaica Observer on Thursday.

“The summons will be issued as long as I can find him or else I will be sending it to Kingston to be served on him, because enough is enough. Mr Davis has done this before and we went, and we warned him, and he continues to have these kinds of social gatherings,” she continued.

Beenie Man’s given name is Moses Davis.

DSP Simms is urging patrons and promoters to adhere to the DRMA and said the police will not tolerate entertainment events.
