Tommy Lee Sparta’s former attorney has called the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).
According to Ernie Smith, the Gothic Dancehall entertainer lost more than JM $20 million in earnings over the last three years.
Smith claims police investigators have been forcing promoters in western Jamaica to remove Sparta from their events.”They are told, ‘you either scratch him off your show or you get your permit cancelled’,” Smith said. “As his manger tells me, they have had to refund deposits on several occasions.”
Tommy Lee Sparta is currently in lockup after he was taken in custody at the Half-Way-Tree Police Station by C-TOC officers last week Saturday. The entertainer was then transferred to the Freeport police station in St James.

This is the fifth time Sparta has been taken into custody in the past two years.
Sparta along with three others, were charged jointly in February 2014 with suspected breaches of the Law Reform (Fraudulent Transaction) (Special Provisions) Act, 2013. The trial was scheduled to begin last October.
In June 2017, he was questioned and subsequently released by members of the Elleston Road Police Station about a shooting in the division. In January that same year, former head of the St James Police division, Senior Superintendent Marlon Nesbeth listed the artiste as a person of interest in relation to crime in sections of Flanker in St James.
