Beanie Sigel Jailed Over Child Support
Police issued an arrest warrant for Philadelphia rapper Beanie Sigel yesterday charging him with failing to pay child support.
Today (Nov. 10), Sigel was jailed by a Philadelphia Family Court judge and sentenced to six months in prison until he pays $26,000 in child support and $2,000 in fines.
The judge ordered Sigel to pay the money to two different mothers, whose identities was kept confidential.
Sigel, born Dwight Grant missed two child support cases he was supposed to attend yesterday (Nov. 9).
Assistant District Attorney Maria McLaughlin said that Sigel failed to appear in court and owed the substantial amount of child support.
Sigel’s attorney Fortunato Perri said Sigel’s absence was due to an oversight in court dates and said that the matter would be resolved.
Last month, Sigel’s step-father Sam Derry was shot and killed and then set on fire. Police arrested a 22-year-old named Kevin Green for the crime.
Shortly afterwards Sigel was subpoenaed by a federal grand jury for an undisclosed reason.
In Sept., Sigel was acquitted of attempted-murder charges in relation to a 2003 shooting in front of a Philadelphia bar.
