Last night we told you about Edison Usher, better known as DJ Vintage. HE says that a man pointed a gun at him at the Romy Badillo fundraising event that took place earlier this month. He has made an official police report but says the police aren't doing anything about it. Today we asked Commissioner Whylie for his comment.

Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police

"I can tell you that I first became aware of that situation I believe on Friday, when I had a call from the common law wife of the DJ. I spoke to the OCED, she gave me certain information in terms of the course of action that was being taken. My instructions to her was to get in the gentleman that made the complaint and to brief him in terms of where they are in the investigation and why is it that they have not reached the decision to charge Mr. Marin. And that is what I will respond to - but I'll definitely have OCED explain to you why is it - because I don't think the complainant is being forthright as he should be."

We spoke with OC Eastern Division ACP Desiree Phillips and she told us that she met with Usher on Friday evening to update him and that there is another element to the case that needs to be considered: OC Phillips told us this evening that they have evidence that Usher is trying to solicit money from the accused and is using the police as cover up. We also spoke with Usher this evening and he denies such allegations and says he will leave the matter to the courts.
