American singer, Sean Kingston has been extradited to Florida, where he and his mother are charged with committing more than a million dollars’ worth of fraud.
ACCORDING TO JAIL RECORDS
Kingston whose legal name is Kisean Anderson was booked into the Broward County jail on Sunday.
He was arrested on May 23 at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in California’s Mojave Desert where he was performing.
SEAN WAIVED HIS RIGHT TO FIGHT EXTRADITION
Last week, the 34-year-old singer waived his right to fight extradition in a California court and agreed to be turned over to authorities in Florida.
Kingston’s mother, 61-year-old Janice Turner, was arrested the same day as her son, when a SWAT team raided his rented mansion in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
CHARGES AGAINST MOTHER AND SON
Kingston and Turner have been charged with conducting an organized scheme to defraud, grand theft, identity theft, and related crimes, according to arrest warrants released by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

KINGSTON’S APPEARANCE AT COURT
Kingston faced a judge Monday who set his bond at $100,000, or $10,000 on each of the 10 charges he faces.
He was also ordered to surrender his passport, won’t be allowed to possess firearms, and can’t have contact with his mother.
Robert Rosenblatt, an attorney for Kingston and his mother, previously said they looked forward to addressing the charges in a Florida court and ‘are confident of a successful resolution.’
