Sean Kingston is behind bars in Southern California, an arrest that came hours after cops raided his home in Florida and arrested his mother.

The singer was arrested Thursday evening in on the base of Fort Irwin — out in the middle of California’s Mojave Desert — and cops say he will be booked into the San Bernardino County Jail.

Cops say Sean had performed a show on the base, and afterward he cooperated as the base police took him into custody on a Broward County Sheriff’s Office arrest warrant for fraud and theft charges. The arrest bookends a busy day for Sean and his family with law enforcement.

As we reported, the Broward Sheriff pulled off a raid Thursday morning at Sean’s home in Southwest Ranches, FL. Cops arrested his mother, Janice Turner, on the same fraud and theft charges he’s facing … and also confiscated a bunch of merchandise from his home.

TMZ got photos inside Sean’s home right after the raid which showed a massive LED screen in one of his rooms. Attorney Dennis Card was there representing his client … a company that sued Sean for not paying the $150,000 home entertainment system.

The screen was dismantled — panel by panel — and removed from the house.

Prior to his arrest, Sean reacted to the raid, and his mother’s arrest, on social media … where he claimed his “lawyers are handling everything as we speak.”

Kim Kardashian is lending her support to the family of Ivan Cantu after the death row inmate was executed in Texas.

KK posted a message to Instagram Wednesday night, informing her millions of followers that Cantu was “an innocent man” who had just been put to death by the Lone Star state.

The SKIMS mogul — who doubles as a criminal justice advocate — went on to send her “prayers” to Cantu’s family and other loved ones.

On Monday, KK took to “X” and urged everyone to sign a petition asking Texas Governor Greg Abbott to grant a 30 day stay of the execution so new evidence could be reviewed in Cantu’s case.

In late January, KK became interested in the case, writing in an X post that she was moved by Cantu’s story, laying out the details of the crimes as she understood them.

Kim said Cantu was convicted in 2001 and sentenced to death for fatally shooting his cousin, James Mosqueda, and Mosqueda’s fiancée, Amy Kitchen.

She said state witnesses had given false testimony at trial, which they later recanted. She also accused prosecutors of withholding evidence that would have bolstered Cantu’s defense.

Cantu always maintained his innocence, insisting that Mosqueda was a drug dealer who owed a lot of money to a rival dealer. He said the rival committed the murders and framed Cantu.

Despite his claims, Cantu was executed by lethal injection at 6:47 PM Wednesday, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

He was 50.

Kim Kardashian está prestando su apoyo a la familia de Ivan Cantu, luego de que el preso condenado a muerte fuera ejecutado en Texas.

Kim publicó un mensaje en Instagram el miércoles por la noche, informando a sus millones de seguidores que Cantu era “un hombre inocente” que acababa de ser ejecutado.

La magnate de SKIMS, cuya otra faceta es la abogacía penal, le envió sus “oraciones” a la familia de Cantú y otros seres queridos.

El lunes, Kim recurrió a “X” e instó a todos a firmar una petición para pedirle al gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, que concediera una suspensión de 30 días de la ejecución para que se puedieran revisar nuevas pruebas en el caso de Cantu.

A finales de enero, Kim se interesó por el caso, escribiendo en “X” que estaba conmovida por la historia de Cantu y exponiendo los detalles de los crímenes tal como ella los entendía.

Kim dijo que Cantu fue declarado culpable en 2001 y condenado a muerte por dispararle fatalmente a su primo James Mosqueda y a la prometida de Mosqueda, Amy Kitchen.

Dijo que los testigos del Estado prestaron falso testimonio en el juicio, del que luego se retractaron. También acusó a los fiscales de ocultar pruebas que habrían reforzado la defensa de Cantu.

Cantu siempre mantuvo su inocencia e insistió en que Mosqueda era un traficante de drogas que debía mucho dinero a un traficante rival. Dijo que el rival había cometido los asesinatos y que inculpó a Cantu.

A pesar de sus afirmaciones, Cantu fue ejecutado por inyección letal a las 18:47 del miércoles, según el Departamento de Justicia Penal de Texas.

Tenía 50 años.

Kim Kardashian does great work in criminal justice reform — but in trying to shed light on one important case … she mistakenly highlighted a guy who’s got nothing to do with this.

The reality star flubbed Monday when she posted the wrong photo of death row inmate Ivan Cantu — accidentally uploading an image of Ivan A. Cantu … a project manager from New York.

TMZ spoke with Ivan about the social media mix-up — and the planner tells us he learned of the error from his family. Understandably, he initially thought they were kidding … as it’s his 60th birthday. We’re sure this wasn’t the birthday surprise he expected!

In any case … Ivan says he understands that someone from Kim’s team likely shared the incorrect image by mistake … although, he wouldn’t say no to an apology since his photo was sent out to Kim’s 364 million followers — that’s what he told us anyway.

The SKIMS founder has since taken down the mistaken post and replaced it with a local newspaper op-ed shedding light on the case. The mother of four has spoken out in support of the imprisoned Ivan — who is currently incarcerated in Texas — on more than one occasion.

Back in January … Kim shed light on Ivan’s case — highlighting that the prisoner has always maintained his innocence in the 2000 murders of his cousin, James Mosqueda, and his cousin’s fiancée, Amy Kitchen.

He is currently set to be executed on Wednesday after a prior execution date in April 2023 was canceled amid an appeal — so obviously, this is a very serious matter.

Jussie Smollett le dice al Tribunal Supremo de Illinois que un trato es un trato. Esto respecto al  trato que los fiscales hicieron cuando desestimaron la primera acusación por fingir un ataque, por lo que nunca debería haber sido acusado y procesado por segunda vez.

Smollett acaba de presentar documentos legales ante el más alto tribunal en la tierra de Lincoln, alegando que después de haber sido acusado por primera vez por un Gran Jurado del Condado de Cook, el Fiscal del Estado le ofreció un trato… hacer servicio comunitario y renunciar a su fianza en la Ciudad de Chicago. De esta forma el caso no sería procesado.

Jussie señala al fiscal, quien dijo: “Después de revisar los hechos y circunstancias del caso, incluyendo el servicio voluntario del Sr. Smollett en la comunidad y el acuerdo de renunciar a su fianza a la ciudad de Chicago, la moción del Estado en lo que respecta a la acusación es nolle pros (no procesar)”.

El fiscal añadió: “Creemos que este resultado es una disposición justa y la adecuada resolución de este caso”.

Smollett dice que la razón por la que fue acusado por segunda vez, es que el fiscal especial “cedio al clamor publico”.

Jussie argumenta que hizo servicio comunitario y perdió su fianza, por lo que presentar el caso por segunda vez equivale a un doble enjuiciamiento.

El argumento de Smollett ha sido rechazado por el juez de primera instancia y el tribunal de apelaciones de Illinois, por lo que está probando suerte con los Supremos de Illinois.

Jussie Smollett is telling the Illinois Supreme Court a deal’s a deal — specifically, the deal prosecutors made when they dismissed the first indictment for faking an attack — so he should never have been charged and prosecuted a second time.

Smollett just filed legal docs with the highest court in the land of Lincoln, claiming after he was first indicted by a Cook County Grand Jury, the State’s Attorney offered him a deal — do community service, forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, and the case would not be prosecuted.

Jussie points to the prosecutor, who said, “After reviewing the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, the State’s motion in regards to the indictment is to nolle pros [not prosecute].”

The prosecutor added, “We believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case.”

Smollett says the reason he was indicted a second time … the special prosecutor “gave in to public outcry.”

Jussie argues he did community service and forfeited his bond, so filing the case a second time amounts to double jeopardy.

Smollett’s argument has been rejected by the trial judge and the Illinois appellate court, so he’s shooting his shot with the Supremes of Illinois.

Alec Baldwin apparently didn’t want to go through the circus of Zooming into New Mexico to face the renewed charges against him — so, he’s skipping it, and entering a plea from an even further distance.

The actor waived his appearance that was set for Thursday morning, where he was due to beam into a courthouse in Santa Fe County and tell the court how he feels about the involuntary manslaughter charge that was re-filed against him in recent weeks.

Instead, he just submitted a not-guilty plea through his attorneys … opting to pass on a virtual pop-in. Makes sense — he’s already telegraphed his game plan, signaling through lawyers that he wants this all done quickly and out of the spotlight.

Remember, Alec made clear last week that he has the right to a speedy trial … emphasizing the fact he does NOT want to drag this out any longer than it needs to be. There are some conditions of release he has to abide by too — no consuming booze, no illegal substances and no firearms and no leaving the U.S. without written permission … the usual.

Now, that he’s pled not guilty … the case can continue, and he’ll eventually have to come to court for the trial itself. Considering Alec has been denying any wrongdoing from the start — all signs point to him fighting this thing to the very end, in front of a jury.

Alec has gotten some support lately on this front — specifically, from SAG-AFTRA … which put out a statement saying it’s not an actor’s job to check firearms on set.

Remember, the D.A.’s office there already tried prosecuting him once — but dropped the charges … only to resurrect them again through a grand jury, presumably on newer evidence they think makes their case solid.

Al parecer, Alec Baldwin no quería pasar por el circo de Zoom en Nuevo México para hacerle frente a los nuevos cargos en su contra, así que está dando una declaración desde una distancia aún mayor.

El actor renunció a su aparición que se fijó para el jueves por la mañana, donde estaba previsto que se presentara en un tribunal en el condado de Santa Fe para decirle a la corte cómo se siente acerca de la acusación de homicidio involuntario que se volvió a presentar en su contra en las últimas semanas.

En su lugar, acaba de presentar una declaración de no culpabilidad a través de sus abogados, optando hacerlo de manera virtual. Tiene sentido, ya que ha señalado a través de sus abogados que quiere que todo esto se haga rápidamente y fuera del centro de atención.

Recordemos que Alec dejó claro la semana pasada que tiene derecho a un juicio rápido, haciendo hincapié en el hecho de que no quiere alargar esto más de lo necesario. Hay algunas condiciones de liberación que tiene que cumplir, no consumir alcohol, no sustancias ilegales y no armas de fuego y no salir de los EE.UU. sin permiso por escrito… lo de siempre.

Ahora que se ha declarado inocente, el caso puede continuar, y finalmente tendrá que venir a la corte para el juicio. Teniendo en cuenta que Alec ha negado cualquier delito desde el principio, todos apunta a que la lucha contra final será frente a un jurado.

Alec ha recibido apoyo últimamente, en concreto, de SAG-AFTRA, que emitió un comunicado diciendo que no es el trabajo de un actor comprobar las armas de fuego en el set.

Recuerde, la oficina del fiscal allí ya intentó procesarlo una vez – pero retiró los cargos … solo para resucitar de nuevo a través de un gran jurado, presumiblemente en nuevas pruebas que piensan que hace que su caso sólido.

Alec Baldwin just filed his first official response to the new charges being brought against him in the “Rust” case in New Mexico — and the first thing out of his mouth is … hurry up!

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the actor has been ordered to appear before a judge in NM to answer to the involuntary manslaughter charge being filed against him (again) … and he’s gotta do so on Feb. 1 at 11 AM through an official plea.

The paperwork notes that AB can show up to court via phone or video conference — but he’s gotta let the judge know one way or the other … guilty or not guilty. Based on the last time this happened, something tells us Alec’s gonna go with the latter.

In fact, his attorneys filed a response to this almost immediately — submitting documents that make clear … he wants to get this over and done with, stressing his constitutional right to a speedy trial.

One of the reasons his legal team cites as wanting to get the show on the road here is because it’ll “minimize public vilification and suspicion.” Plus, he wants to “avoid the hazards of proving his innocence that often arise after a lengthy delay in prosecution.”

Remember, Alec was slapped with new charges last week — namely, involuntary manslaughter through negligent use of a firearm, or in the alternative … involuntary manslaughter without due caution or circumspection. Before the charges were dropped the first time, he was facing something very similar … and the entire time, he vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Of course, this all has to do with the fact that Alec was using the prop gun on set — which somehow fired and sent a live bullet through the late Halyna Hutchins, who was the DP.

Alec Baldwin acaba de presentar su primera respuesta oficial a los nuevos cargos presentados contra él en el caso “Rust” en Nuevo México y lo primero que sale de su boca es… ¡Date prisa!

De acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales, obtenidos por TMZ, el actor ha sido ordenado a comparecer ante un juez para responder a la acusación de homicidio involuntario que se presenta en su contra (de nuevo) y él tiene que hacerlo el 1 de febrero a las 11 AM a través de una declaración oficial.

El papeleo señala que Alec puede aparecer en la corte a través de teléfono o videoconferencia, pero tiene que responderle al juez de una manera u otra si es culpable o inocente. Basado en la última vez que esto sucedió, algo nos dice que Alec va a ir con este último.

De hecho, sus abogados presentaron una respuesta casi de inmediato y dejan claro que quiere terminar con esto de una vez por todas, haciendo hincapié en su derecho constitucional a un juicio rápido.

Una de las razones que su equipo legal cita como motivo principal, es porque va a “minimizar el vilipendio público y la sospecha.” Además, quiere “evitar los peligros de probar su inocencia que a menudo surgen después de un largo retraso en el enjuiciamiento”.

Recordemos Alec está enfrentando cargos otra vez la semana pasada. Cargos de homicidio involuntario por negligencia en el uso de un arma de fuego, o en la alternativa, homicidio involuntario sin la debida precaución o circunspección. Antes de que los cargos fueran retirados la primera vez, se enfrentaba a algo muy similar, y todo el tiempo negó vehementemente cualquier delito.

Por supuesto, todo esto tiene que ver con el hecho de que Alec estaba usando la pistola de utilería en el set, que de alguna manera disparó y envió una bala a través de la fallecida Halyna Hutchins.
