Senior Magistrate Leron Daly yesterday dismissed a disturbing the peace charge against DJ Tony Bowen after she found that the charge was “bad in law.”

Bowen, 26, called ‘Mix Master Tony,’ of Third Street, Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara, appeared before Magistrate Daly in a Georgetown court.

It is alleged that on July 3, at Taco Loco, located at Lot 1 Drury Lane, Campbellville, Georgetown, Bowen behaved disorderly in a public place by playing loud music that disturbed the peace.

According to his attorney, Bowen had been working a gig as the DJ when the police showed up and arrested him. He further said that Bowen and the owner of the food place were to be charged.

He said that his client has told him that the neighbours who made the complaint did not ask for the music’s volume to be lowered. He said that the police just showed up and they were arrested.

The accused was placed on $10,000 bail after pleading not guilty to the charge. However, yesterday on his second court appearance the matter was dismissed.
