Mavado was this morning freed of assault charges.

Vado armed with his legal team appeared in the Halfway Tree R-M court today to answer to charges of assault occasioning bodily harm. Attorney at law Tameka Harris tells Music News that the parties agreed to mediate the matter.

"Mavado has since tweeted "Charges against me dismissed in court today, to God be the glory."

All this stems from a shooting incident that left the Mavado's childhood friend dead.

Vado’s friend Conroy "Connie" Edwards was allegedly shot by an off-duty policeman. The bullet entered the left side of his abdomen where it lodged. Connie succumbed to his injuries on the evening of June 16, 2011.       

It is alleged that Vado had a physical altercation with the policeman in question.
