Popular dance hall artiste David Brooks otherwise known as ‘Mavado' has again found himself in trouble with the law.
Mavado was Sunday night slapped with assault charges following a fight at a night club in Negril, Westmoreland in which a patron was seriously injured.
He is also charged with using abusive language to the police who tried to arrest him.
It is reported that at 4am, Mavado had an argument with a patron at the Jungle nightclub in Negril at the annual RTI festival.
During the dispute, the entertainer allegedly punched the patron in the face.
The man then fell down a flight of stairs and suffered multiple injuries.
This occurred in full view of several members of the police force, who were monitoring the annual RTI and ATI festivals in Negril.
Several police officers approached Mavado and tried to arrest him, but he resisted arrest and allegedly used abusive language to the cops.
To avoid an ugly clash with fans of the artiste, the cops decided not to arrest him on the spot.
He was later spotted at another location in the parish and was apprehended.
He is to appear in the Savanna-la-mar Criminal Court on August 12 to answer the charges.
Mavado, who has had several brushes with the law, was recently freed on gun-related charges in the Gun Court.
