Cop Who Moonlights As Producer To Be Questioned Over Missing Girlfriend Donna-Lee Donaldson
Constable Noel Maitland, who is also known as the music producer Noel Onetime, has been named as a person of interest in the disappearance of social media personality Donna-Lee Donaldson.
Maitland has now retained the services of prominent attorney-at-law Christopher Townsend, who disclosed that the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) will grill the corporal about his involvement with the 24-year-old Donna-Lee. The notice was served on Maitland to answer questions before INDECOM as the agency conducts a “special investigation” to determine if there are any grounds to suspect any member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) has contravened the law.
Maitland co-founded One Time Music in 2018 with Chevaughn Davis and Sean Townsend, according to Riddim ID. The production house’s riddims include Big Time, Pure Time, High Time, and Right Time, and they are known for the hit songs No Underwear by Dexta Daps, Clarks Pon Foot by Jahvillani, and Living by Rytikal.
They’ve also worked with Squash, Chronic Law, I-Octane, Quada, Rygin King, Bugle, Govana, Moyann, Mavado, among others.
The Donna-Lee case has created a mushrooming public relations cloud for the JCF.
On July 13, Donaldson’s mother, Sophia Lugg, reported to police that she had not seen or heard from her daughter.
According to police reports, on July 11, about 10:00 pm, Donaldson was picked up at her house by her boyfriend Constable Noel Maitland in a black BMW motor car to spend the night with him at an apartment located at Chelsea Manor in Kingston.
Noel Onetime is reportedly Donaldson’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, and he posted a picture of Donaldson on his Instagram for her birthday. The baby mother of Noel’s child, who is a district constable, reportedly saw the picture and was so upset about it that she showed up at Noel’s New Kingston apartment and an argument ensued between the two women.
Reports further indicated that Constable Maitland from Constant Spring Police Station, who is the father of a child for a district constable at the Half-Way-Tree Police Station, told Lug that Donaldson left his apartment on Tuesday, July 12, sometime after 11:00 am and has not been seen or heard from since.
Witnesses say they saw Donaldson leave Maitland’s apartment
Deputy Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey, at a press conference on Monday afternoon, said that the police have processed the cars of the missing woman’s boyfriend and his baby’s mother.
“We don’t endorse the fashion in which the matter is being investigated. The police are singling out my client and his girlfriend and it doesn’t appear that the investigation is wider than that. The true perpetrators are probably out there laughing,” Townsend said.
Townsend disclosed that two eyewitnesses have come forward to say that they saw Ms. Donaldson leave Mr. Maitland’s apartment on July 13.
Townsend also revealed that the police have returned to Maitland’s apartment this afternoon to conduct a second forensic sweep.
“We are facilitating it because we’re interested in the police locating Ms. Donaldson and we’re doing everything we can to assist the police in that regard,” he said.
