Bahamian Tarino Lightbourne, 47, pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to extort and conspiracy to extort from the actor after his 16-year-old son Jett died on January 2.

Details of the alleged extortion scheme have not been made public.

Prosecutor Bernard Turner objected to bail, saying police are looking for a "certain document" and believe they might not find if Lightbourne is released.

A Bahamian senator also accused of extortion has resigned and vowed to prove her innocence.
