Its appears that the Deputy Major of Montego Bay Michael Troupe may have more skeleton in his closet than many of us could have imagined.
It appears based on a recent article I saw, that the deputy major has had a brush with the law before and was able to escape with his freedom, see below.

A People’s National Party (PNP) activist was shot and killed and a caretaker/Councillor arrested and charged with his murder when a dispute between both men turned sour .shortly after mid-day yesterday in Montego Bay.
Dead is 32-year-old Colin ‘Crabbit” Clarke, of a Crawford Street address, in Mt. Salem, while arrested and charged with murder is Michael Troupe, the PNP’s caretaker/Councillor for the Granville Division, in St. James According to police reports, at about 12:30 p.m., Clarke went to the Albion Training Centre to collect ‘back to school money’, which was being distributed to needy parents. While at the Centre, an argument reportedly started between Mr. Troupe and himself. During a heated exchange, a scuffle reportedly started between both men and Troupe allegedly pulled his licensed firearm and fired two shots. One of the bullets struck Clarke in his left breast and he fell to the ground. He was rushed to the nearby Cornwall Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Following intensive investigation by a team of detectives from the Montego Bay CEB, Troupe’s firearm was seized and he was arrested and charged with murder.
