Internet reports flew around this morning that reggae dancehall star Vybz Kartel pulled off one of the biggest prison breaks in Jamaica?s history!
As the story goes, according to Hype Life Magazine: Kartel, who has been charged with murder, marijuana possession and gun charges, escaped from the Horizon Adult Remand Centre in Spanish Town, Jamaica along with seven other inmates.

The Jamaica Observer quickly threw cold water on the story saying that the reggae artist had not escaped.
The police have also dispelled rumours that a guard died from a heart attack and 12 others were injured. As you read above, we got to the bottom of the situation and cleared the air. Vybz is still in custody.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Les Green told the Observer early this morning that he had no knowledge of the reported jail break.
"I know nothing about that. If that had taken place I would would certainly have known," Green said.
Police at Denham Town Police station, the closest police station to the remand centre were also unaware of the reports, as was the Constabulary Communication Network who also claimed ignorance of any jail break.
"It may be an attempt by his cronies to keep him in the news but they don't need to spread rumours to do that because he will be in the news for quite some time," one cop told the Observer.
