Faizon Love jailed in Florida after local authorities arrested him Tuesday night on two contempt of court charges. He is being held without bond at Falkenburg Road Jail in Tampa, and the booking file puts his court appearance in Hillsborough County on Friday.
Falkenburg Road Jail in Tampa
Booking records show Love, 58, was arrested at approximately 10:48 p.m. Tuesday and entered the jail system less than an hour later on June 16. The pace matters here because it leaves little room between arrest, intake, and the hearing that will now determine whether he stays in custody or gets a bond setting.
The records tie both charges to the same case number, and one is identified as criminal contempt of court. Love’s booking information also lists him at 6 feet 1 inch and about 380 pounds, while a mugshot taken by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has already been released.
Domestic relations matter
Court records identify the case as a domestic relations matter, but the underlying allegations were not immediately available. TMZ reported that Love allegedly missed a child support hearing, which fits the kind of contempt filing that can keep a defendant jailed until a judge addresses compliance or custody terms.
That means the Friday appearance is not a formality. It is the point at which the court can decide whether the warrants stay in place, whether bond changes, or whether the matter moves forward as a continuing domestic dispute rather than a simple arrest.
Faizon Love since 2017
Love, who appeared in Elf, Friday, Couples Retreat, The Replacements, Made, and Blue Crush, has faced criminal court before. In 2017, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge tied to an altercation with a valet at John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Ohio, and reports at the time said he was fined $500 and given a 180-day suspended jail sentence.
This is the part readers should watch: the arrest does not resolve the dispute, it only moves it into a judge’s hands. If the domestic relations filing is driving the contempt warrants, Friday will decide whether Love leaves Tampa under new conditions or remains in custody while that case keeps running.
