Internationally acclaimed reggae singer Jepther "Luciano" McClymont also known as the Messenger was charged yesterday by detectives from the Half-Way-Tree police station for harbouring a fugitive.

Luciano was arrested on Friday following allegations that he was sheltering a wanted man who is responsible for the death of several police officers. He was however released on bail Monday afternoon after his lawyer Delano Franklyn filed a writ demanding that his client be charged or released.

On Tuesday March 24, cops invaded Luciano's residence on Westminister road in search of a fugitive named Andrew Senior aka Conqueror who engaged the cops in a bloody shootout that lasted for more than two hours. The wanted man was found dead while three cops were injured during the process.
