Dantay Brooks, the son of dancehall superstar Mavado, has once again found himself in trouble with the law.

Observer Online understands that the junior Brooks is now facing charges of unlawful wounding and assault at common law.

According to police sources, charges were laid against Brooks on Wednesday. In addition to wounding and assault charges, the entertainer’s son is also facing charges of possession of a prohibited weapon and using a prohibited weapon to commit a scheduled offence.

The police said the new charges stem from a July incident in Mavado’s hometown of Cassava Piece. Specific details related to the matter were not revealed, however it is understood that Brooks is also being investigated on a gun related charge.

This is the second time official charges have been laid against Brooks who was freed in March after his 2021 murder conviction was overturned by the Court of Appeal. At the time, the then 18-year-old Brooks was sentenced to life imprisonment for the 2018 killing of Lorenzo Thomas in Cassava Piece. His co-accused, Andre Hinds, was also freed.
