PONTIAC, Mich. (WXYZ) - Once a part of the Fab Five, Jimmy King is in trouble for not paying child support. He appeared in front of a judge at the 50th District Court in Pontiac on Tuesday.

The former University of Michigan basketball star is accused of holding out on more than $17,000 in child support for one of his three kids. The child, a 17-year-old boy, lives out of state, and King’s attorneys say he’s paid more than $60,000 for his care already.

In court, Judge Cynthia Walker agreed to allow King to use the money he paid for his bond, $3,500, to go toward paying down the child support.

King was arrested earlier this month at New St. Mark Baptist Church in Detroit where he runs a basketball camp. The State Attorney General’s office says it had been trying to contact King for six weeks, but was unable to reach him.

If convicted, King could face four years in prison, but the state says the goal is to get him to pay.

King is scheduled to be back in court Sept. 9 for a preliminary hearing.
