Personal life
William Omar Landr贸n is the father of three children. On April 19, 2008 he married Jackie Guerrido.2 Don Omar is also the owner of All Star Records. On September 2004, Landr贸n and two companions were detained by police personnel in Puerto Rico.3 He was subsecuently charged with drug and weapon possession, after being supposedly found by policemen Arnaldo Hern谩ndez and Neftal铆 Molina consuming cannabis in a white Hummer.3 On June 30, 2008, Landron attended the first court hearing in the drug case against him, accompanied by Guerrido, his brother Luis Landr贸n and his mother To帽ita Rivera. Here the charges were reviewed by the judge and several persons were interviewed as potential members of the jury.3 The jury was selected on July 8, 2008.4 Two days later Angel Ram铆rez Ram铆rez denied permission to extract a DNA sample from a Marijuana cigarette, after noting that if a previous test done in June brings back negative results the charges against Landr贸n may be dropped.5 The hearings had to be posponed on July 10, 2008, because one of the prosecution's witnesses was unable to attend due to pregnancy.6 The DNA tests were "inconclusive".7 On July 22, 2008, the charges against Landron were dropped by the prosecution, after incongruencies appeared in the witness accounts.8
