Judge send Tupelo, Mississippi man to jail for failure to pay child support
Roosevelt Linston, a former professional basketball player in the European League, was jailed after he failed to pay his child support, according to the Clarion Ledger. Linston was sentenced in May of last year to five years for failing to pay back child support of $16,500.00. However, the judge suspended the original sentence, but Linston still failed to pay the child support. He was jailed until such time as he pays the $16,500.00 in full.
