Beenie to answer to LA Lewis assault charge



(via The Jamaica Star)

Dancehall artiste Moses 'Beenie Man' Davis faced the court yesterday to answer to the charge, assault occasioning bodily harm.

Davis was charged along with Jeremy Wade, otherwise known as 'Rolex', who was charged with assault at common law, for an incident involving Horace 'LA' Lewis.

It was alleged that on June 5, Davis assaulted fellow entertainer Lewis after they were involved in a minor car accident.

Lewis said he was travelling along Perkins Boulevard, near Red Hills Road, when the incident occurred.

He said Davis had stopped his car in the road so that he could converse with another motorist.

Lewis claimed he was attempting to drive past the cars when a section of his car hit Davis' vehicle, after which, Davis allegedly exited his vehicle and assaulted him.

According to Lewis, Davis had the support of his entourage to aid in the assault, which resulted in him being hit in the face.

Wade was also alleged to be a part of Davis' entourage on the day in question.

Lewis had reported the incident to the Duhaney Park Police Station. An officer there confirmed Lewis had made a report against Davis, accusing him of assault occasioning bodily harm.

Davis will return to court on November 17 when the matter will go to trial.
