News: Machel Montano warned by police in Zen: No crotch grabbing

In what is appearing to be very comical, police attempted to halt a show at Zen Nightclub on Friday featuring Machel Montano, Benjai, Patrice Roberts and Zan. The police told Machel, "Stop allowing the women to touch your (testicles)." Frustrated Montano said, "If all yuh want to lock meh up, lock meh up."

The latest move by the Trinidad and Tobago Police has not only frustrated Machel Montano and his HD crew, but also patrons at Zen on Friday night. At first Zan, Patrice Roberts, Benjai and Kernel Roberts "burst into laughter", but the continual police presence eventually also frustrated them, with Kernel telling Machel that the police "want to lock you up."
The problems with the police began after Machel Montano came on stage at Zen, after performances by Benjai, Zan and Patrice Roberts which were well received.
