It looks like somebody was not invited and complained or the police wanted to end it for other reasons.

POLICE pulled the plug on a benefit dance promoted and emceed by world champion Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt in rural St Ann parish.

Deputy commissioner Glenmore Hinds says Bolt's show was halted after it ran two hours past the legal shutoff time. Under Jamaica s Noise Abatement Act, live events should be halted at 2am.

Mr Hinds says that the parish police stopped the event early Sunday because there was no indication it was coming to an end. The show took place at Richmond Estate, 100km north of the capital.

The dance helped raise funds to build a community centre in Bolt's hometown. It attracted top dancehall acts including Vybz Kartel and Beenie Man. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNew ... 63568.html

The law........what law? They must just be to cheap to offer the law a little money to get their watches fixed. If it was keeping some grand mother awake and see had to be up early for church then I understand.........I understand when they tell her she can't play bingo at the new community center

i wish the arseholes that disturbed my peace every minute of every day by blasting music so loud you cant actually hear it you can only feel the vibration had obeyed the law, or the 'law' had stamped down on their own rules (now i know what its like to be deaf!).

There are now houses where that was being kept, its a big empty piece of land. They hold the kite festival there every easter as well.
