Musician Sean Kingston arrested in Broward County for grand larceny – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – Musician Sean Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, is currently behind bars in the Broward County Jail on charges of grand larceny and organized fraud.

Kingston agreed to return to Florida without contesting extradition from California.

The singer’s legal troubles stem from a raid on his rented Southwest Ranches home in late May, during which agents seized various items, including a Cadillac Escalade. Authorities accuse Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, of stealing jewelry, money and furniture. One of the most notable allegations is that they failed to pay for a $150,000 entertainment system.

In February, a company filed a lawsuit against Kingston for non-payment for goods.

During the raid, Turner’s arrest was also captured on video. She can be seen handcuffed outside the house. She faces multiple charges of theft and fraud. Both Turner and Kingston are convicted felons.

After the raid, Kingston posted on Instagram: “People love negative energy! I’m fine and so is my mom! … My lawyers are taking care of everything right now.”

Authorities continue to investigate the case and updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
