Convicted dancehall entertainer Squash has had his prison sentence reduced by one month, moving his expected release date to December 26, 2026.
The artiste, whose real name is Andrae Whittaker, was previously scheduled for release on January 25, 2027.
Squash, 34, is serving a 27-month sentence after pleading guilty to being an alien in possession of a firearm in the United States.
The charge stemmed from a traffic stop in Miami on February 25, 2025, during which law enforcement officers discovered two Glock pistols in his vehicle. One of the firearms had been modified with an invisi-switch plate, a device commonly referred to in Jamaica as a “chip Glock.”
Federal prosecutors later charged the entertainer with being an alien in possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of a machine gun.
Although he initially indicated he would take the matter to trial, Squash later entered into a plea agreement and admitted guilt to the firearm possession charge.
He was sentenced on November 24, 2025, to two years and three months in prison.
Under the terms of the plea agreement, Squash is expected to face removal proceedings upon his release. Court documents noted that the offence carries immigration consequences, despite the entertainer being married to a United States citizen.
