Hours after being erroneously posted as an escaped prisoner, entertainer Barry Chandler is still dealing with the potential fallout. It is his twin brother Bruce who escaped custody.

Although he no longer sings calypso, Barry still performs and there have been threats to cancel him.

The Barbados Police Service issued a retraction, but Barry is seeking legal advice since this is the third time something like this happened.  

In this excerpt from our interview at his studio, he also revealed he turned his brother in to police earlier tonight.
