Overview
- Booking records show Faizon Love was taken into custody and booked into Hillsborough County’s Orient Road Jail on two contempt-of-court counts and is being held without bond.
- A Hillsborough County judge issued the two-count contempt arrest warrant tied to a long-running child support and paternity matter that dates to 2019, but related court files appear sealed so the public record is limited.
- Court documents obtained by outlets show Love earlier told a court he earned $0 last year, reported a five-year high of $13,000 and said he could not pay roughly $250,000 that a woman identified in reporting says she seeks in the paternity dispute.
- Love was first arrested in Riverside County on a fugitive warrant on June 4 and an extradition waiver followed before he was booked in Florida on June 16; a hearing on the contempt counts is set for July 2 and a separate San Diego felony-assault case remains scheduled for trial in August.
- The contempt order is a civil enforcement tool judges use to compel compliance and can result in jail time, and Love’s arrest adds to prior legal incidents including a 2017 misdemeanor airport assault plea and the 2024 San Diego assault allegation.
