Popcaan was found guilty of assaulting a police officer but walked away with just a slap on the risk.

The dancehall hitmaker found himself in some legal troubles back in 2013 when he got into a fight with police officers at the Norman Manley International in Kingston. The deejay was about to board a flight when cops requested to search his luggage, he refused and an argument developed.
