'Elf' and 'Couples Retreat' Actor Arrested in Florida
Love was booked into a Florida jail after a judge issued a fugitive warrant in a sealed child-support contempt case, records show.
- Actor Faizon Love, 58, was booked into the Orient Road Jail in Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday on two counts of contempt of court after being arrested on a fugitive warrant.
- The arrest stems from a 2019 child support dispute with Tiffany Lee, after a judge held Love in contempt and ordered him to surrender for 90 days in May.
- Love previously claimed minimal income in court documents while battling a $250,000 debt owed to Lee; he faces separate legal challenges, including a pending 2024 felony assault charge in California.
- As of Wednesday evening, Love remained in custody in Florida, with his legal representatives declining to comment publicly on the contempt charges or the paternity matter.
- Next month, a judge will hear a motion to allow Love to complete a pre-trial Mental Health Diversion program; completion could result in criminal charges being dismissed.
