DANCEHALL singjay Dexta Daps had his bail extended when he appeared in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
The entertainer, whose given name is Louis Grandison, is facing charges of obstructing the police; the use of indecent language; resisting arrest; and assault occasioning bodily harm, following an altercation he had with the police at the Sangster’s International Airport in St James, on April 27.
Resident Magistrate Natalie Hart-Hines adjourned the matter until Tuesday, June 9, to allow for the collection of “corroborating officer’s statement”.
Dexta Daps is represented by attorney-at-law Peter Champagnie, who told the Jamaica Observer that his client’s plea will be an emphatic “not guilty”.
The attorney also requested the deferral of the taking of his client’s fingerprints, which was granted by RM Hart-Hines.
The Seaview Gardens-born Dexta Daps is known for songs including 7Eleven, Pretty Nicky, This a the Best and Jealous Ova, a collaboration with female dancehall sensation Tifa.
