Rapper Sean Kingston is facing extradition to Florida after being accused of committing over $1 million in fraud and theft with his mother, Janice Turner. The arrest took place in southern California, where Mr. Kingston signed paperwork waiving his right to challenge the extradition in a California court.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office alleges that Mr. Kingston and his mother defrauded several businesses by taking jewelry, money, a luxury car, and more. The arrest warrants indicate that the scheme involved more than $1 million in fraudulent activities.
Following the arrest, Mr. Kingston remains in a Southern California jail, as California sheriff’s officials work to coordinate his extradition with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office in Florida. Additionally, a lawsuit has been filed against Mr. Kingston by a company for not fully paying for a large TV and sound system, claiming that he made false representations to induce the business to install the products.
Despite the legal troubles, Mr. Kingston remains optimistic, as he shared a statement on his Instagram account assuring his followers that he and his mother are doing well and that their lawyers are handling the situation. A lawyer representing the pair stated that they look forward to addressing the allegations in court and are confident of a successful resolution.
It is yet to be determined when Mr. Kingston will return to Florida to face the charges against him and his mother. The case continues to unfold as more details emerge about the alleged fraudulent activities.
