BROWARD COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Noted rapper Sean Kingston remains in the Broward County Jail early Monday morning following his apprehension in California.

Kingston (Anderson) is charged with, “Organized scheme to defraud, obtain property over 50,000 by fraud,” “Fraud or impersonate another without consent (to obtain) $50,000 or more,” “Grand theft between $20,000 and $100,000,” “Fraud, insufficiency funds (by) check greater than $150,” “Grand Theft in the first degree, $100,000 or more,” “Fraud or use of another person’s ID without consent (to obtain) $50,000 or more,” and several other similar charges.
Kingston was required to surrender his passport. He remains held on $100,000 bond as of 7:30 a.m. Monday.
