KINGSTON (Reuters) – Jamaican reggae and dance hall star Bounty Killa was arrested on assault and other charges on Thursday for an altercation with an off-duty policeman nearly two years ago.

Police said Bounty Killa, whose real name is Rodney Pryce, could face a sentence of 15 years in prison if convicted.

Pryce was charged after a lengthy probe into the beating of a police officer on September 27, 2007, by members of the DJ's entourage.

Investigators said a vehicle belonging to Pryce was being used to block a road while the music star stopped to acknowledge some fans. When the officer asked Pryce and his followers to clear the road, he was beaten, they said, and Pryce threatened him with a gun.

Pryce was charged with assault, unlawful wounding and illegal possession of a firearm.
