Former top-flight entertainer, Garfield 'Zebra' Vassell, was relocated from the Spanish Town lock-up recently after it is alleged that he threw urine on a policeman.

Vassell, who is facing a rape charge in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court, was reported to have done the act early last week.

Since the incident, THE STAR has learnt that the deejay was transferred to the Portmore police lock-up.

Allegations are that the incident occurred after Vassell started to defy the rules of officers on duty at the jail. He is reported to have confronted an officer and then the liquid was thrown on him. The police is reported to have then subdued the accused.

In the meanwhile, the preliminary inquiry in the deejay's rape case starts today in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court and will continue tomorrow.

Yesterday, Vassell told the court that he was on doctor's treatment as a result of being beaten when the incident took place at the lock- up.

His appearance in court arose from an incident in April 2009, when he is said to have sexually assaulted the daughter of his girlfriend.

Vassell had completed a 10-year sentence for rape in July 2008.
