Faizon Love, the actor and comedian known for memorable roles in 'Friday' and 'Elf,' is being held in a Florida jail after authorities arrested him over an ongoing paternity and child support dispute that has escalated into a court contempt case.
The 58-year-old performer was booked into Hillsborough County's Orient Road Jail in Tampa on two counts of contempt of court after a judge ordered his arrest. Court records indicate the case stems from allegations that Love failed to comply with court directives connected to a long-running child support matter.
