Scarface In Jail Over Unpaid Child Support

Rapper Scarface has been incarcerated for not paying child support and has been behind bars since October of 2010.

The rapper has been held in the Montgomery County Jail since, confirms a source close to the rapper.

The rapper has several outstanding child support cases and has had to appear before several courts since his initial incarceration.

"He's gotten transferred to a few jails last year and some of the cases are in different states," the source said. "This whole situation could've been avoided." 


Additionally, Scarface has not been assisted in his plight from anybody close to him, even though aid has been requested.

Other details to the case have yet to be revealed, but Scarface reportedly has a tremendous financial commitment before him. Being jailed further compounds the situation since he is unable to generate income to even start paying the support, the source said. 


The pending federal charge against incarcerated rapper Scarface, pertains to one of his four back child support cases.

The Geto Boys member apparently ran afoul of the law in St. Louis, Missouri, where he would be held with "no-bail" pertaining to a child support case in that state.

According to the source, even if Scarface made bail in regards to the other outstanding cases in Texas, he would be extradited to St. Louis anyway, to face charges the charges in that state.

Scarface has allegedly been sought for years, but managed to dodge pursuing Federal Marshals, prior to his arrest in October of 2010.

Scarface is currently being held in the Montgomery County Jail in Conroe, Texas.

The source said that in one of the cases, Scarface was completely unaware of the child, until a paternity test revealed he was the father.
