Shawn Storm will spend the weekend behind bars.
The entertainer turned himself into the police on Tuesday after being informed that he was being sought by the authorities again. He is currently at the Constant Spring lockup and is expected to face an identification parade.
Shawn Storm’s attorney Michael Deans appeared in the Corporate Area R-M Friday with the hope of making an application for the deejay’s release.
Deans noted that although the entertainer was questioned by police on Tuesday he has yet to be charged with anything. Deans also added that his client denies any knowledge of any wrongdoing whatsoever.
Last week the entertainer was listed as a person of interest but was later released by the lawmen after being interrogated.
Storm’s attorney, however, has asked Senior Resident Magistrate to make an order to set the matter for Monday and have a representative from the Constant Spring Police to update the court on Shawn Storm’s case.
The order was granted.

Gregory Isaacs, dubbed The Cool Ruler for his trademark smoothness, dapper style, wistful crooning with a rebel demeanor was a pivotal pioneer of lovers’ rock music and also created some of the most timeless roots and dancehall anthems throughout his 40-year career.
During the 1970s and 1980s, he pumped out album after album with a massive string of hits, including My Only Lover, Let’s Dance, Soon Forward and Night Nurse.
He even made a small cameo in the classic 1978 reggae film Rockers as the locksmith and later performed his song Slave Master.
