Singer Sean Kingston, alongside his mother, was arrested in California shortly after a police raid on his Florida mansion. In February, allegations against Kingston surfaced when a company accused him of failing to fully pay for a large TV and sound system. Police in Florida stated that he was apprehended in Fort Irwin, southern California, on charges of fraud and theft under a Florida warrant.
Prior to his arrest, the 34 year-old singer mentioned on social media that his legal representatives were managing the situation. The raid by Florida police targeted a residence near Fort Lauderdale, where court documents from February listed the singer, whose legal name is Kisean Anderson, as a resident. According to various US media outlets, Kingston’s mother was the first individual arrested.
The raid was confirmed by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office reporting that they executed arrest and search warrants at the property. The office stated, “As a result of the investigation, an adult female, Janice Turner, was taken into custody on numerous fraud and theft charges. This investigation is active and ongoing.
” Officers were observed removing items from the house. It remained unclear whether the arrests were directly connected to the company’s accusations. According to Broward police, Sean Kingston’s arrest in southern California occurred “without incident” hours later.
He was scheduled to be in jail in San Bernardino. Kingston and his mother, recognised on Instagram .
