Following his conviction last month, he was limited to home detention pending a sentence on terms of which he could list $10,000 in cash debt. However, he was taken into custody as the singer and rapper couldn’t come up with money.
As we reported, Sean and his mother were accused of scamming businesses over $1 million with fraudulent plans with jewelry, luxury cars and other luxury items.
According to prosecutors, Sean and Janice have won more than one mil of property through the scheme – ripping car dealers on a $160,000 Cadillac escalade, and jeweller is a glittering jeweller for $480,000…

Kingston’s lawyer Robert Rosenblatt tells TMZ… Sean can’t come up with cash debts at the moment, but they’re working on it. Rosenblatt says that an unnamed celebrity friend is trying to help Sean.
Rosenblatt says that Sean will turn down offers from prosecutors and cut the deal against his lawyer’s advice…and the judge says he can order Sean for his prison term based on existing guidelines. Rosenblatt says when he was sentenced in July, Sean could stay in prison to stay.
