A team of United States marshals arrived in Jamaica yesterday to escort dancehall artiste Busy Signal back to America, where he is to face criminal charges in the state of Minnesota. The artiste, whose real name is Glendale Gordon, recently waived his right to challenge extradition proceedings. The dancehall star had been implicated in a narcotics offence and is being extradited for failing to appear before the court to answer charges in relation to the offence, allegedly committed in 2002. ‘Busy’, as he is affectionately called by his fans worldwide, was greeted at the Norman Manley International Airport on May 21 by law-enforcement agents from the US, the United Kingdom, and Jamaica. As he stepped off the plane, the extradition warrant was executed on him.
