The singer, whose name is Siccature Alcock, was arrested and charged yesterday with illegal possession of ganja.
Reports are that about 11 a.m., the singer was travelling along Dunrobin Avenue when he was stopped and searched during a spot check. Two ganja spliffs were reportedly found in the ash tray of the car, along with a small amount of marijuana in a bag. The police say the drug weighs about an ounce in total.
The reggae crooner, who was released on parole from jail in July 2007, wept when he was arrested. The singer was released from police custody yesterday and granted bail of $10,000.
When contacted about how the singer was doing, Jah Cure's publicist Robert Morgan commented, "him a tek it easy, is not a major thing, is just a spliff, not even an entire spliff."
He added, "he realise him just have to be more careful with what him a do. As a Rastaman, Jah Cure will smoke weed, is not a secret. The nation doesn't recognise weed as a sacrament to Rasta. But he realises it needs to be done in the privacy of wherever."
The singer had spent almost eight years in jail after being convicted on gun, rape and robbery charges in 1999.
The singer is set to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Monday.
