US rapper Sean Kingston extradited to Florida, booked into county jail

FLORIDA, United States — US rapper Sean Kingston has been booked into Broward County Main Jail on nine charges of fraud and theft.

According to an article from Yahoo News, Kingston was extradited to Florida from California and booked on Sunday. The Broward Sheriff’s Office’s online jail records say Kingston’s bond is set at US$100,000.

Yahoo News says arrest paperwork alleged that Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, scammed businesses and banks out of thousands of dollars worth of furniture and jewellery. Kingston was arrested on May 23. His mother, who was also arrested for her involvement in the case, was reportedly released from jail after posting US$160,000 bond last Tuesday.

Kingston, 34, was charged with obtaining property over $50,000 by fraud; three counts of fraudulent use of another person’s identification without consent, over $50,000; grand theft between $20,000 and $100,000; fraudulent use of a check with insufficient funds over $150 and two counts of grand theft over $100,000.
