PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — University of Michigan “Fab Five” member and ex-Toronto Raptors player Jimmy King says he’s working with authorities to resolve a child support claim.
King told reporters Tuesday outside a hearing in Pontiac he’s taking steps to support his family. King returns to court Sept. 9 for a preliminary hearing.
King was arrested Aug. 9 on accusations from the state attorney general’s office he failed to pay $17,000 in support and ignored repeated warnings to get back on schedule. He was arraigned the next day on a charge of failing to pay support he owed for one child.
The charge carries up to four years’ imprisonment but is commonly used to get parents to settle.
King’s lawyer Andrew Abood says his client has already paid $60,000 in support of his son.
