Jonathan Braun, 41, a convicted drug dealer who received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, has been sent back to jail. Following his release, Braun was involved in multiple violent incidents, including injuring a three-year-old child, groping his nanny, assaulting a man at a Shabbat dinner, menacing a synagogue congregant, and assaulting a hospital nurse. These actions violated the terms of his supervised release. Prosecutors detailed Braun's erratic behavior and cited several instances of violence. Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto, citing concerns about the repeated violent acts, denied Braun bail. Braun, who had previously served less than three years of a 10-year sentence for running a large-scale marijuana distribution ring, was arrested by U.S. Marshals at a Long Island hotel. He had also been involved in running sketchy finance firms with extremely high-interest rates and had previously been arrested for evading tolls. Braun faces the possibility of years in prison for violating his release terms and will have a hearing on April 10th to argue for bail.

Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty on all five counts of wire fraud. They are accused of defrauding businesses out of over $1 million through a scheme involving jewelry, luxury vehicles, and other goods.

Prosecutors cited examples such as a $160,000 Cadillac Escalade and $480,000 worth of jewelry. The judge deemed Kingston's mother a flight risk and remanded her into custody. Kingston is under house arrest. They face a maximum of 20 years in prison per count. The judge described Kingston's mother as the 'fixer' of the scheme, while the defense claimed Kingston was financially naive.
