Jamaican-American singer Sean Kingston is facing 10 charges in Broward County, Florida, following his detainment in California for fraud and theft.

According to an arrest warrant issued on May 20, Kingston (real name is Kisean Paul Anderson), was arrested on May 23 at Fort Irwin in Southern California and booked into jail in San Bernardino to await an extradition hearing — just hours after a SWAT team raided his 14,000-square-foot South Florida mansion and arrested his mother. Per Variety, Kingston’s mother, Janice Turner, is also named in the arrest warrant for defrauding several businesses, including a jeweler and a car dealer.  The pair allegedly committed more than $1 million in fraud in recent months.

Kingston — known for songs including “Beautiful Girls” and “Fire Burning” — and his mother face counts of grand theft from a luxury car dealership to defrauding a jeweler for $480,000. Other charges against Kingston include several counts of identity fraud and issuing faulty checks in addition to a probation violation. Turner, meanwhile, is facing eight counts; she allegedly posted bail and is no longer in police custody.

At the time of his arrest, Robert Rosenblatt, an attorney representing Kingston, shared: “We were in the process of having him return to Florida after his show. We want him back asap so we can show this is merely a civil case and not criminal. We look forward to challenging this case in court.”
