Dancehall entertainer Busy Signal, who was deported to the island last year, after serving time in a US prison, has been charged by the local police.
Busy, whose given name is Glendale Gordon, was recently charged with obtaining passports in a false name.
The charges stemmed from his arrest last year on an extradition warrant.
During the arrest, it was disclosed, that he had unlawfully obtained three Jamaican passports in the name Reanno Gordon, which he used in his travels abroad as an entertainer.
He's scheduled to appear before the Corporate Area Criminal Court on Tuesday for a plea and case management hearing.
Busy Signal returned to Jamaica late last year, after serving time in a US prison.
He pleaded guilty to absconding bail in the US and was sentenced to six months.
Busy had pleaded guilty in July, to one count of failure to appear in court, admitting that he left the United States 10 years ago, before a scheduled trial on drug charges.
He had been charged in February 2002, with two counts related to cocaine trafficking, which carried a sentence of at least 15 years in prison.
Although there was a warrant out for his arrest, he returned to Jamaica and established a successful career, until his detention in London in May last year while on tour.
He was returned to Jamaica where he was arrested and later extradited.
