popular dancehall deejay Rodney Price (more popularly known as Bounty Killer), appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate?s Court yesterday, to answer to charges of assault occasioning bodily harm on a woman who is said to be pregnant.

It is alleged that on May 22 of this year, Bounty Killer was partying at a popular nightclub in New Kingston, when he saw the complainant and said ?wha yuh a do yah?, and then allegedly shoved her in the chest and punched her in the face and all over her body. It is further alleged that his friends joined in on the attack, and the woman was rescued by patrons.

The matter was reported to the police on the same day, but Bounty Killer was not arrested and charged until June 18. He was granted station bail the same day, and was in court yesterday to answer to the charges. He is to return to court on September 10 to face trial, and his bail has been extended until then
