POLICE pulled the plug on a benefit dance promoted and emceed by world champion Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt in rural St. Ann parish.
Deputy commissioner Glenmore Hinds says Bolt?s show was halted after it ran two hours past the legal shutoff time. Under Jamaica?s Noise Abatement Act, live events should be halted at 2:00 am.
Hinds says that the parish police stopped the event early Sunday because there was no indication it was coming to an end. The show took place at Richmond Estate, 65 miles (100 kilometers) north of the capital.
The dance helped raise funds to build a community center in Bolt?s hometown. It attracted top dancehall acts including Vybz Kartel and Beenie Man.
