It's been a tumultuous time for recording artist Sean Kingston lately. The singer, known for hits like "Beautiful Girls," found himself behind bars in a Florida jail after being arrested on fraud charges in California on May 23rd. This all came after a SWAT team raided his South Florida residence earlier that day. Kingston was eventually booked into Broward County Jail on June 2nd.
According to reports from The Associated Press, Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have been charged with a slew of crimes including organized fraud, grand theft, and identity theft. The charges stem from a series of incidents where the pair allegedly stole a significant amount of money, jewelry, a Cadillac Escalade, and even furniture. The total value of their fraudulent activities is estimated to be over a million dollars.
Interestingly, Kingston's arrest took place at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in the Mojave Desert where the singer was scheduled to perform. He ultimately waived his right to fight extradition and agreed to be sent back to Florida to face the charges.
This isn't the first time Kingston and Turner have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. The singer, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, is currently serving a probation sentence for trafficking stolen property. Turner, on the other hand, previously pleaded guilty to bank fraud in 2006 and served nearly a year and a half in prison.
Local 10 reported that Kingston was still in jail on a $100,000 bond for nine felony charges and a probation violation before he appeared in court on June 3rd. According to a civil complaint obtained from the Broward Clerk of Courts, Ver Ver Entertainment has accused Kingston of using his celebrity status to scam people out of products and services. The complaint alleges that the singer only partially paid for a 232-inch television and entertainment system, despite using his name to secure the items.
It's certainly a troubling situation for Kingston and his mother, who have now faced multiple run-ins with the law. As the legal proceedings continue, many are left wondering what will become of the beloved singer and his future in the music industry. Only time will tell as the case unfolds.
