876radio.com has learnt that the police has refused to grants the promoters of the highly publicized event 'Finish Line -The Summer Edition' a permit because of fears of violent clashes that may ensue between supporters of headline acts, Mavado and Portmore Empires' front man Vybz Kartel.
According to Superintendent Assan Thompson of the Eastern Kingston Police Division "I have received intelligence that persons appearing on the event are likely to have violent clashes which might result in firearm usage and affect the security and safety of the Norman Manley International Airport,"
However he added that he was made aware of the event 24 hours ago but that was not sufficient time for the lawmen to provide proper security detailing for an event of that nature, so it was on this basis that the permit was denied. Thompson said he is open for discussion with the promoters but they would to assure him that the event would be void of any form of violent activity.
The event was slated to take place later today (June 21st) at the Palisadoes Go-Kart Track in East Kingston which ironically is also within close proximity to the Norman Manley International Airport.
