Popular dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel was admonished and discharged in the St Ann's Bay Criminal Court on Tuesday after he apologised for using indecent language at a nightclub in Ocho Rios recently.
The DJ, whose real name is Adijah Palmer, was arrested in Ocho Rios last month for reportedly using expletives during a performance at the Amnesia Night Club.
The Ocho Rios Police said despite numerous cease and desist warnings, Kartel continued to use foul language during his performance.
However when he appeared in court Kartel pleaded guilty and expressed regret for his behaviour.
He told the magistrate that he was celebrating his birthday and had too much to drink.
Vybz Kartel then apologized to the police, the people of St. Ann and the wider public for his behaviour.
The magistrate accepted his apology and admonished and discharged him.
Meanwhile, members of Operation Kingfish said they wanted to interview Kartel and another popular entertainer Sheldon Lawrence, known as Aidonia.
"We have in our position a very disturbing photograph of four men, two of whom we have identified as two of Jamaica's top entertainers, Vybz Kartel and Aidonia. These men were posing with some very powerful weapons and at this moment Operation Kingfish is eager to speak with these two gentlemen," said Inspector Steve Brown, Spokesman for Operation Kingsfish.
He said, "As a matter of fact, we intend to question them in the presence of their lawyers so that they can indicate to us where they got these weapons. So far our records (have) indicated that neither of these two men (is a) licensed firearm holders."
