“The St Andrew North police met with Mr David Brooks and his attorney, and based on the information at hand, and the circumstances— that matter has been closed,” Superintendent of Police Randy Sweeney said in a statement reaching Observer Online.
The warrant was reportedly issued on June 9, 2018 based on a complaint by Anthony Goulbourne.
Observer Online understands that the complaint was made by Goulbourne after he was arrested and charged for allegedly shooting at the entertainer.
Superintendent Randy Sweeney also confirmed the update, “I can confirm that the matter has been closed.”
“That warrant was a warrant on information … it’s not a court warrant per se, it’s not a warrant that was issued by the court but a warrant that was signed off on by a JP after the police provided information to the JP. That warrant of information is no longer in effect.”
