DANCEHALL deejay LA Lewis was offered $50,000 bail when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

LA Lewis was detained and spent a night in jail after he went to court on Wednesday following media reports that a warrant was out for his arrest.

 LA Lewis was ordered remanded by Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey notwithstanding an application by his attorneys, Charles Ganga-Singh and Coleen Lewis, to vacate the warrant.

But yesterday, the artiste was granted bail on an application by Ganga-Singh.

The National Solid Waste Management Authority, through the provisions of its Act, has accused LA Lewis of recruiting persons to spray-paint political graffiti on walls in the West Kingston constituency in which he is trying to become a candidate for the Opposition People's National Party.

The self-styled, seven-star general will return to court on November 28 for trial.
