Chris Tavares-Finson, the attorney representing David 'Mavado' Brooks, has filed a writ of habeas corpus in court, asking the police to either charge or release his client.
A summons was served on the police this morning.
Mavado, along with fellow dancehall artiste Adijah 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer, spent the night in jail, after the police asked them to turn themselves in as persons of interest.
Tavares-Finson said the date on the application is set for tomorrow which means that if his client is not charged, police will have to attend court to explain why he was not released.
Both Mavado and Kartel are still being questioned by cops from the St Andrew North Police Division.
Police say both men wield considerable influence in the communities of Big Yard and Cassava Piece which run off Mannings Hill Road. The cops say they are to be questioned in connection with several serious crimes that have been committed in the communities in recent times.
