Bail Denied For Defendant in Travolta Extortion Case

Filed under: John Travolta > Legal Matters

extortion-sucks__opt.jpg

On Wednesday, a judge in the Bahamas refused to lower the bail requirement for Tarino Lightbourne, the ambulance driver accused of trying to extort $25 million from John Travolta following his son Jett's death in the Bahamas.

As we've previously mentioned, Lightbourne and a former government official threatened to release 'worthless' ambulance transportation documents if the actor didn't pay the cash.

At a hearing, the judge told the ambulance driver he could apply again next month to reduce his $50,000 bail requirement if it still has not been met.

Lightbourne must be pissed. His 'accomplice', former Bahamian official Pleasant Bridgewater, was able to post her $50K and isn't hanging out in a jail cell.

    Is there any truth to the rumor that the "Nanny" hired to fuck John Travolta is now in drug rehab? Maybe that explains why he was too preoccupied to look in on Jett . . .

    Glad they didn't reduce this guys bail. How low can you be to try and extort money from a person - and a person who just lost a child. So many sick peeps in this world. Hope John and his family are getting through this ok.

    What kind of Sub Human Trash would do something like this to parents who just lost a son. They need to be stabbed in the di*k with a ice pick.

    This is idiotic, they both need to be in jail until this all gets clear… anyways we are still not 100% sure of what was the reason behind for the extortion and yet again you are too quick to say that it was about some "worthless" ambulance transportation documents… first you confirmed that there where pics, not documents?? Get your info right and as a "journalist" don't be sooo quick to judge before knowing the facts… yeah extortion is a horrible thing and should be strongly penalized specially considering what the family was going through…
