Singer is arrested over assault

Federal agents in Puerto Rico have arrested reggaeton singer Kendo Kaponi on charges of armed burglary and assault in Florida.

Police said Kaponi, whose legal name is Jose Morales Rivera, was arrested in the southern town of Coamo.

The 33-year-old is accused of attacking a barber in Winter Haven, a city south-west of Orlando. The alleged incident occurred in July last year.

It is the second arrest of a reggaeton singer in Puerto Rico in the last week. Carlos Efren Reyes, known as Farruko, was accused of hiding nearly $52,000 in undeclared cash.
