Months before Sean Kingston was arrested alongside his mother and charged with fraud after a SWAT raid at his rented South Florida mansion, the Jamaican-American singer was sued for allegedly not footing the bill of a $150,000 entertainment system, according to the legal complaint.
Kingston, 34, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, was booked Thursday night into jail in San Bernardino, located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, on numerous fraud and theft charges stemming from a Broward County, Florida, warrant.
Hours before his arrest, his mother, Janice Turner, 61, was detained on fraud charges during a police operation at Kingston's mansion in Southwest Ranches, a suburban town about 22 miles northwest of Miami.
Kingston, who was renting the massive enclave at the time of his arrest, is accused of breaching contract and defrauding a South Florida company. He's currently awaiting extradition to Florida.
"People love negative energy! I am good and so is my mother!... my lawyers are handling everything as we speak," the "Beautiful Girls" hit-song singer said on his Instagram Stories prior to his arrest.
The mother of Kisean Anderson, known in the music world as Sean Kingston, appeared before a judge on Friday.
Janice Turner, 61, was arrested on Thursday during a raid on the singer's Southwest Ranches mansion. Her son would find himself in handcuffs hours later in California on an arrest warrant from Broward County.
During Turner's bond court hearing, the judge read off the eight fraud and theft charges against her.
In arguing for a high bond amount, the prosecutor brought up her previous record.
"This is not Ms. Turner's first time with this type of conduct. She has a 2005 federal conviction for bank fraud where she was sentenced to 16 months in federal prison," attorney Eric Linder told the judge.
