Speaking with his home station #Streetz945ATL, #YungJoc told the story of his Thursday arrest on child abandonment charges. Apparently, he was on his way home to get dressed for an event when officers from the Atlanta Police Department pulled him over. A female officer standing by the front passenger window identified Joc with the phrase “yeah that’s him,” then another officer at Joc’s window asked him to step out of the car. Yung Joc was then handcuffed and taken to the station. He was released about two hours after his arrest on a $1,300 bond.
He clarified that the abandonment charge involves child support payments. However, he made it clear that there was no abandonment. In fact, he says he was paying his child’s mother, whom he refused to name at this time, between four to five thousand dollars a month. In his words, he was paying ahead to stay ahead, but also because he “didn’t want no smoke.”
Then, he decided he wanted to take a step back to handle other finances, including his upcoming wedding expenses. Apparently, they never had an official agreement. Per Joc, his child’s mother became upset because she wanted to keep receiving 5K payments, but he suggested creating an official child support contract through lawyers. He says while they were in the middle of that process, his child’s mother and her attorney made abandonment claims because they were unsatisfied with Joc’s $1,500 Christmas payment offer.
“When I go to court, this gon have to be reversed, this gon have to be taken off my record. Because there was no point in time where there was any abandonment. There was no point in time where there was no child support,” Joc said. (🎥: @mystreetz945atl, @streetzmorningtakeover) via TSR
