Dancehall Artist Shane E Listed As Person Of Interest In Gang-Related Activities

Dancehall entertainer Shane E has been listed by the St Andrew South police as a person of interest in a number of gang-related activities that have taken place in Waterhouse recently.

His attorney, Christopher Townsend, told DancehallMag that he would be turning himself in today.  “We have made an appointment for him to be debriefed. He is going in shortly,” Townsend said.

The police had asked for the entertainer, given name Theophilus Edwards, and another man, Stephen Sterling, otherwise called ‘Tractor’, to turn themselves in by noon on Friday.

The Anti-Social deejay is wanted for questioning with a recent flare-up of violence in Waterhouse, however, Shane E told the Jamaica Star yesterday, that he was not involved in a gang and is only focusing on music and his children.

“Mi no know nothing about this or whatever a stir up inna Waterhouse,” he said.

“First thing and foremost, mi have 10 kids fi look after, mi no have time fi dis! Mi just lose mi permit fi go a Canada and a try fi appeal fi get back mi permit right now.
