American actor Faizon Love undergoes arrest in Hillsborough County

• Actor Faizon Love was arrested on Tuesday and faces contempt charges.
• Law enforcement officials booked the comedian into a Tampa jail without bond.
• The legal incident occurs after a declaration of paternity case was reopened.

Couples Retreat actor Faizon Love was arrested on Tuesday, in Florida and is currently facing contempt charges. The 58-year-old actor and comedian was taken into custody within Hillsborough County, Fla., before being booked into a local Tampa jail. Online jail records confirmed the formal booking of the California resident.

The emergency detention details were first published by TMZ, which tracked the moving legal situation within the southern municipality. Separate court records show that Tiffany Lee reopened an active declaration-of-paternity case on June 11 involving Love. It currently remains unclear what specific connection, if any, that legal matter has to Love's sudden arrest.

Held without bond in local facility

The entertainment star remains incarcerated within the regional penal facility while the case progresses. He is being held on no bond by local law enforcement administrators. The legal development adds to the public history of the performer, who previously made headlines when Couples Retreat Star Faizon Love sued Universal Studios for allegedly whitewashing the film poster.

Love, who maintains his primary residence in California, has built a long career across several major Hollywood projects. He is also widely known for his prominent role in the holiday comedy movie Elf with Will Ferrell. Additional details regarding his scheduled court appearance have not yet been made public by county clerks.
