Welp, another day, another legal problem for Sean Kingston. The singer has been taken into custody and is currently being held at the Broward County Jail where he faces charges of grand theft and an organized scheme to defraud.
Kingston voluntarily returned to Florida without contesting extradition from California following his arrest on a warrant issued by the Broward Sheriff’s Office. He was transported to Broward County on Sunday as per BSO’s statement.
As previously reported, the legal trouble for the singer began with a raid on his rented home in Southwest Ranches last month. Law enforcement agents seized various items during the raid, including a Cadillac Escalade. Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, was also accused of stealing jewelry, money, and furniture. A significant allegation against them involves the failure to pay for a $150,000 entertainment system.
