Yung Joc Arrested & Charged With Child Abandonment

Looks like rapper Yung Joc recently spent the night behind bars.

According to reports, the Atlanta artist was pulled over early morning on Thursday (May 5th) for speeding, when police discovered that Yung Joc, real name Jasiel Amon Robinson, was driving on a suspended license. Reportedly, the license suspension was due to an active arrest warrant out on the “I Know You See It” rapper. Reports state the 36-year-old was only briefly detained, posting his $1,300 bond only a few short hours after being taken in.

The nature of the arrest warrant was unreported, however booking charges show the former Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star was charged with “Abandonment Of A Dependent Child”. This could mean that Yung Joc failed to pay child support to at least one of the four mothers of his eight children.

The Streetz Morning Takeover radio host has opted not to address the arrest publicly, but seemingly did confirm it. Posting his “comedic” response to a news blog attempting to get a comment about his brief jail stint, Joc claimed he’s doing comedy and will soon be touring writing:

“Yea my new Comedy tour is about to launch. The Help Me Feed My Kids Tour.”
