His mother Janice was arrested the same day … getting taken into custody amid the raids on her son’s rental home.
As we reported … Kingston is facing a mountain of charges — including perpetrating an organized scheme to defraud several companies, grand theft, identity theft, fraud and other crimes involving a jeweler, an exotic car dealer and several other businesses.
Kingston and Turner’s lawyer, Robert Rosenblatt, previously told AP News they’re confident they’ll achieve a “successful resolution” regarding the charges.
Following the raids, Kingston shared on his Instagram Stories … “People love negative energy! I am good and so is my mother!.. my lawyers are handling everything as we speak.”

This isn’t Kingston nor Turner’s first run-in with the law. Remember, the singer was previously serving a 2-year probation sentence for a case involving the trafficking of stolen property.
As for his mother … back in 2006, she pled guilty to bank fraud for stealing over $160k and served almost a year and a half in prison. She’s currently out on bail … posting a hefty bond to secure her release.
There’s certainly more to come … stay tuned.
