Gully Bop Arrested in the US, Granted Bail
Popular ‘rags to riches’ dancehall artiste Gully Bop was reportedly arrested by police in New York (USA) on Wednesday as he arrived at the John F. Kennedy Airport to board a flight back to Jamaica.
The entertainer, whose real name is Robert Lee Malcolm was then taken to Central Bookings in Brooklyn, New York, where he was slapped with domestic abuse and robbery charges.
Following his arrest, his former girlfriend and manager Amari stated the following in a video posted to YouTube:
“I have some disturbing news. If you look on my time line, I’ve been saying something over and over. Well, it happened”.
“I was sleeping and the detectives just called me and let me know that they have apprehended Gully Bop. I tried to send out a warning several times to tell them (Bop and those associated with him) to get in touch with me and no one ever did.”
It has to do with domestic violence that occurred months ago in regard to him running me down with a butcher knife, stealing my passport and my green card,” she explained. “A number of people are going to be locked up and they’re not listening to me”.
“This thing went way out of hand. They threatened my life and even gave out my address for me to get hurt. It’s about five of them that are going to get locked up.”
‘The Bop’ was reportedly granted US$1,200 bail when he appeared in the Brooklyn Criminal Court on Thursday (July 21).
