Faizon Love, actor in jail, was arrested in Hillsborough County on Tuesday.
He faces two contempt of court charges and is being held without bond at the Hillsborough County Jail, with a Hillsborough County courtroom appearance scheduled for Friday.
Hillsborough County Arrest Records Summary
Two contempt of court charges prompted the booking of Faizon Love into the Hillsborough County Jail, where he remains held without bond; law enforcement records list those two counts and an outstanding warrant as the immediate cause for the arrest.
Faizon Love Court Appearance Friday
He is expected to appear before a judge on Friday, which means the no-bond status will keep him detained until the hearing unless the court orders otherwise; under standard procedure a judge can set bond, revise custody, or enforce the underlying order that produced the contempt charges at that arraignment.
Elf Role and Career Context
58 years old, Faizon Love is widely recognized for his role as the store manager in the 2003 movie Elf and has credits across dozens of movies including Friday and Couples Retreat; public records also show he has been arrested multiple times in the past on assault charges during his career.
According to TMZ, Love had missed a child support hearing prior to the arrest; jail records do not list an amount for alleged back child support, creating a factual gap between the reported missed hearing and the details in county records.
Records show he has been arrested multiple times in the past on assault charges, but the single operative item for this case is the pair of contempt counts that led to an outstanding warrant and the arrest in Hillsborough County; what remains to be established in court is the specific court order or obligation that generated those contempt charges.
