From Dominica News Online—
Tommy Lee (in bus) after he was arrested at the Melville Hall Airport on Sunday—
Controversial Jamaican dancehall artist, Tommy Lee Sparta, who was set to perform in Portsmouth last night, has been arrested after he was denied entry into Dominica on Sunday evening.
The artist and at least three members of his entourage are presently at the Marigot Police Station, DNO was reliably informed.
DNO’s source indicates they were arrested after they refused to return to the jet they had landed on.
The artist’s jet is presently on the tarmac at the Melville Hall Airport.
Main organizer of the concert, Cabral Douglas, has confirmed to DNO that the artist has been denied entry.
Attorney, Tehani Behanzin, who is trying to assist in the matter has been denied access to him, according to Douglas.
It is unknown why Tommy Lee was denied entry.
Tommy Lee’s performance in Dominica has been harshly criticized by members of the religious fraternity who allege that his music promotes violence.
The Dominica Association of Evangelical Churches (DAEC) has been called for a boycott of the concert featuring Sparta, who, it claims glorifies Satan during his performances.
DNO is continuing to follow this unfolding story and will publish more information as it becomes available.
