Three people were arrested on January 23, 2009, in the Bahamas in connection with a multimillion-dollar extortion plot against Travolta and Preston concerning the circumstances of their son’s death.  One of the men was a member of the Bahamian Parliament and former Bahamian Minister of Tourism Obie Wilchcombe,  who was described as a “close friend” of Travolta and Preston.  The others two allegedly involved were an EMT named Tarino Lightbourne and a Bahamian senator named Pleasant Bridgewater. Bridgewater was charged with abetment to extort and conspiracy to extort and resigned from the Senate as a result of the allegations.
