Overview
- Authorities arrested Faizon Love on Tuesday, June 16, after he was picked up in Riverside County and transported to Hillsborough County, where booking records show two counts of contempt of court tied to family case 19-DR-017453.
- A judge had found Love in contempt after he missed an April hearing and in May ordered him to surrender to serve a 90-day jail term, and his attorney says a rehearing on the contempt motions was scheduled this week.
- Court filings reported by multiple outlets say Love told the court he could not afford roughly $250,000 that Tiffany Lee alleges he owes, reporting $0 income in the past year and $13,000 as his highest annual income over the last five years.
- Separately, Love faces a pending felony assault prosecution in San Diego stemming from an August 2024 hotel incident, with pretrial motions and an August trial date on the calendar that could be affected by his Florida custody status.
- Many family-court records in the Hillsborough case remain sealed, which limits public detail, but the arrest underscores how family courts can use warrants, interstate pickup and jail orders to enforce child support and contempt rulings.
