Travolta Friend, 2 Others Arrested in Extortion Plot
We've
learned...Obie Wilchcombe, the former Minister of Tourism, was one of three people in the Bahamas who was arrested by Bahamian police in connection with an
alleged $20 million extortion plot against John Travolta, local authorities tell TMZ.
Wilchcombe was a very close friend of the Travolta family. On Larry King's show, he talked about how the family was coping with Jett's death.
Just yesterday, he told the media, "I thought it was a despicable act. One person should not destroy the character of the country."
On Larry King's show, Wilchcombe talked about the intimate details of the funeral home and the cremation, etc.
Wilchcombe has said no politician was part of the plot and said only one person was involved. Yet two of the three people arrested were politicians --
Wilchcombe, a Senator in Parliament named Pleasant Bridgewater and an ambulance driver named Tarino Lightbourne. Lightbourne reportedly was one of the EMTs who
tried to revive Jett.
Wilchcombe is a current member of Parliament.
The videos below show Wilchcombe calling into "Larry King Live" on the day Jett died and Lightburne doing an interview with "Inside
Edition" the next week.
I didn't hear about that. Who the fuck would do something like that? That's disgusting.
