International reggae superstar, Mark ‘Buju Banton’ Myrie will be heading back to the
Sam M Gibbons Federal Court for the matter of his bail bond to be
reviewed by Magistrate Judge Anthony E Porcelli tomorrow.
According to reports, the four-time Grammy nominee and his legal team are in a disagreement with the prosecution over the security
company they want to hire for Banton’s round-the-clock security detail.
As part of his bail conditions, it was stipulated that Banton be placed under house arrest, have a 24-hour security detail, at his
expense, and wear an electronic monitoring device. The security detail
is to ensure that Banton does not violate the terms of his house arrest.
Judge Porcelli had also ruled that the government agree with whatever security arrangement Banton is putting in place.
Buju Banton was offered bail in the sum of $250,000 bail after his cocaine and gun trial ended in September with a hung jury.
