Popular Jamaican reggae star Jah Cure was arrested at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Trinidad and Tobago hours before he was slated to perform at a concert in San Fernando.
According to police reports, the singer whose given name is Siccaturie Alcock, was arrested following a court order issued by Justice Sebastian Ventor for failure to pay US$19,993 to a local Trinidadian businessman.
Jah Cure was taken to the Central Police Station by police and a High Court Marshall Saturday night.
The singer would only have been able to perform at the event if he was able to pay the money in cash or sign a security bond for the amount owed.
Jah Cure was recently released from jail in Jamaica after serving nine years for rape.
