Sean Kingston To Be Extradited To Florida Where Reggae Singer Faces 10 Fraud Charges

Popular Jamaican-American reggae singer and rapper Sean Kingston, best known for "Beautiful Girls," will soon be extradited back to Florida where he was charged with ten counts related to fraud. This happened soon after he was arrested in California along with his mother.

Once back in Florida, Kingston will face charges relating to around one million dollars worth of merchandise he reportedly acquired without paying for them. A total of 10 charges have been brought in the Sunshine State, with the biggest charge being an alleged organized scheme to defraud several companies.

TMZ obtained a copy of the arrest warrant that was issued in Broward County, Florida. It alleges that Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, ripped off several businesses, including a jeweler, an exotic car dealer, and several other luxury goods dealers.

Many of Kingston's and his mother's infractions include not paying the luxury car dealer $159,701.49 over a Cadillac Escalade and not paying the jeweler for jewelry worth around $480,000. He also owes a furniture company around $86,568.33 for a custom bed they made for him. Kingston allegedly owes the various Florida companies approximately a million dollars in total.

It was noted that aside from defrauding companies, he also has charges related to defrauding banks and writing bad checks. Meanwhile, his mother is facing a total of 8 charges back in Florida.

Kingston also has a charge for violating his probation for trafficking stolen property. He is set to appear in a California court in San Bernardino for his extradition hearing. After this, he and his mother are expected to be sent back to Florida to face their respective charges.

Sean Kingston Will Remain in Jail Until He Is Extradited to Florida

In the meantime, Kingston will remain in custody inside a Southern California jail as he awaits his extradition. He reportedly did not make a public court appearance but signed papers and agreed to skip extradition hearings.

Representatives from San Bernardino are now coordinating with the Broward County Sheriff's Office for the extradition, sheriff's spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez told NBC 6 South Florida in an email.

The reggae singer, popular in the US and in Jamaica, was performing at an Army training base called Fort Irwin when California officials arrested him to eventually send him back to Florida. Janice Turner, his mother, was arrested the same day in their rented mansion in Florida.

Sean Kingston and His Mother Have a History of Defrauding People by Using His Fame and Connections

This is not the first time Kingston has run-ins with the law because of fraud, as well as his mother. As stated above, he is currently serving two years' probation for trafficking stolen property and he was also accused of fraud and breach of contract by Ver Ver Entertainment, which sued the Jamaican-American singer.

He reportedly tried to use his connection to Justin Bieber, whom he previously collaborated with for the hit 2010 song, "Eenie Meenie," to get Kingston a secure a lower down payment for a high-end entertainment sound system they installed. He also promised them that he would convince Bieber to shoot promotional videos for the company, according to Yahoo! Entertainment.
