Le’Veon Bell is arrested on allegations that he failed to pay child support totaling about $50,000, according to multiple reports. The former NFL running back was taken into custody on Sunday. Both outlets describe the case as related to unpaid child support obligations and characterize the amount as roughly $50,000.
The reports also provide background on Bell’s recent football career. After a strong period with the Pittsburgh Steelers that ended amid a contract dispute, Bell later played for the New York Jets. The outlets note that his time with the Jets included two seasons in which he was described as disappointing. While the coverage focuses on the arrest and the alleged child support nonpayment, neither source indicates the outcome of the legal matter at this time.
No additional details on the specific jurisdiction, the precise charges, or any response from Bell or his representatives are included in the provided excerpts.
