From Reuters, July, 2009:
KINGSTON (Reuters) – Jamaican reggae and dance hall star Bounty Killa was arrested on assault and other charges on Thursday for an altercation with an off-duty policeman nearly two years ago.
Police said Bounty Killa, whose real name is Rodney Pryce, could face a sentence of 15 years in prison if convicted.
Pryce was charged after a lengthy probe into the beating of a police officer on September 27, 2007, by members of the DJ’s entourage.
Investigators said a vehicle belonging to Pryce was being used to block a road while the music star stopped to acknowledge some fans. When the officer asked Pryce and his followers to clear the road, he was beaten, they said, and Pryce threatened him with a gun.
Pryce was charged with assault, unlawful wounding and illegal possession of a firearm.
Bounty Killa was arrested in July 2008 on a charge of using profanity during a performance at a reggae festival in Montego Bay. He later pleaded guilty and was fined $70.

From the Jamaica Star, June 2006:
POPULAR DEEJAY RODNEY ‘Bounty Killer’ Pryce was arrested by police on Saturday and charged with assaulting the mother of his child.
The ‘Warlord’, as Pryce is also known, was arrested at the Quad Nightclub on a warrant and subsequently charged with assault and occasioning grievous bodily harm, stemming from an incident on Constant Spring Road, St. Andrew, more than a week ago.
Allegations are about 1:45 a.m. on Wednesday, May 24, Pryce, 34, was passing by when he saw the mother of his child, 33-year- old Julie Rambally, on her way with friends to a popular Monday night session along Constant Spring Road.
Pryce allegedly accosted Rambally and an argument began. It was reported that the altercation became physical and she was punched in the face several times. She was dragged some distance away (near South Avenue), and her head slammed into a wall, and she was kicked to the ground.
Rambally was assisted to the Kingston Public Hospital, where she was treated for her injuries, including severe swelling to the face. A report was subsequently made, and a warrant was prepared for Pryce’s arrest.
Pryce was picked up about 4:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, at the club in New Kingston, wherein the warrant was served, and he was arrested. He did not spend any time in jail however, as Pryce was given station bail to the sum of $20,000.
The matter has been set for court on Tuesday, where the Warlord’s fate will be decided.
