The Oakland County child support case against former University of Michigan “Fab Five” star Jimmy King was dismissed Friday when he paid more than $17,000 in back support.
King, 38, was arrested last August on accusations that he failed to pay more than $17,000 in child support for his 17-year-old son, Jalen King, who currently lives in Kansas. The felony charges could have involved a four-year maximum sentence.
Appearing in Circuit Court before Judge Rudy Nichols, King, who lives in Oakland County, paid $17,248.45 at his pretrial, said his attorney, Jeffrey Abood.
In October Abood noted that King had paid more than $3,000 in back child support — and had paid more than $60,000 to date, Abood said.
Abood said King is the athletic director for H.Y.P.E. Athletics, a non-profit organization which will allow King to work with children.
“Jimmy King is grateful that he is able to provide for his family,” said Abood. “He has always loved and taken care of his family. Unfortunately, he was greatly impacted by the economic downturn.”
