POPULAR Jamaican deejay Busy Signal, pleaded
not guilty to one count of failure to appear in court yesterday.
Busy Signal, whose real name is Glendale
Gordon, is accused of fleeing the US to avoid a drug trial a decade ago
Gordon could face up to five years in prison
if convicted on that count. He was ordered detained pending his trial.
He was charged in February 2002 with two
counts related to cocaine trafficking. He fled before his trial was to begin in
Minnesota and has been a fugitive for the past decade, Assistant US Attorney
Andrew Dunn, said in court.
Busy Signal was detained by authorities in
London last month who suspected he was traveling with false documents,
including a passport that listed a different name. He was allowed to fly to
Kingston, Jamaica, and was arrested at the airport there.
Gordon waived his right to an extradition hearing.
The cocaine charges still exist, but because
of extradition treaties, any future prosecution on those counts would have to
be worked out between the Jamaican and US governments.
Gordon's attorney, Bill Mauzy, said in court
that the US doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute Gordon on the drug charges.
