Sean Kingston Arrested on Theft and Fraud Charges Following SWAT Raid and Mother’s Arrest


Sean Kingston was arrested on theft and fraud charges in California following a SWAT raid of his Florida home and his mother's arrest.

This happened only a few hours after Broward detectives arrested his mother, Janice Turner, during the raid of Kingston’s home in a lavish Fort Lauderdale suburb. NBC News in South Florida report the raids were connected to a lawsuit filed against Kingston for allegedly not paying for luxury items including a TV, watches and a custom-made bed. Attorney Dennis Card, who represents an individual allegedly suing Kingston over the unpaid items, told the outlet that Kingston uses “basically a script, he says that he works with Justin Bieber, and obviously puts on a big show here, this is a rental house, he doesn’t own it, and he lures people using his celebrity into having them release things without him paying for it and then he simply never pays.”
