After getting arrested twice within a year span- once in September 2016 and once in September 2017- for two different crimes, he’s now a wanted man, on the run for yet another crime.

His Prior Arrests

As we previously reported, in September 2017, Winans was arrested for back child support payments for his 12 year old son. His debt was so massive, at $171,000 in back support payments, that the Bergen County Sheriffs Department raided his home in Fort Lee, NJ and arrested him ‘without incident.’ At that time, he was able to bail out of jail, and his promise to the judge was that he would be able to make an immediate payment toward his debt. The judge felt secure with Mario’s promise and therefore allowed him to make bail, but not without slapping an ankle monitor on him first…you know, just in case he gets a bright idea to not pay up, or flee.

Why Cops Are Now Looking For Winans

Welp, fast forward to a few months later and apparently, flee, he did, and now cops are on the hunt for the brotha. Here’s what has just been reported:

Via Bossip– Cops are set to arrest singer Mario Winans after he failed to surrender to law enforcement and attend to a court-ordered child support enforcement hearing to explain why he is still not supporting his tween son. [… The “I Don’t Wanna Know” singer was supposed to surrender to law enforcement Wednesday and attend the hearing in Bergen County, NJ Family Court where he faced possible jail time. A judge had issued two warrants for his arrest after he once again stopped supporting his 12-year-old son. “He’s a no-show,” a Bergen County court official told Bossip in the courtroom Wednesday.

It was also reported that Mario was supposed to be dishing out $3,500 monthly for his 12 year old son, but has not been consistent with his payments since his kid’s birth.

Sometimes the road gets rough financially, but Mario has had 12 years to pull himself together. Not saying that’s always an easy feat, but at this point, it’s starting to look like he should probably try pushing a little harder to earn the money he needs for his kid. Or maybe try to make some other type of financial arrangement with the court. That would be a lot better than being on the run like he apparently is now, just sayin.’

His biggest accomplishments though, are as a mega hit-maker in R&B, hip hop, and gospel, having produced a ton of hits for Bad Boy, R. Kelly, Eminem, Whitney Houston, his aunt Cece Winans, and many more. Now that we’re all caught up on who Mario Winans is, let us explain why he’s now becoming known as the member of the legendary Winans gospel family who’s been getting arrested.

His Recent Arrest

Mario was just arrested for the second time in one year. According to Bossip, the brotha was arrested for not paying his child support for his 12 year old son and his bill is so massive, the police had to raid his home. See details below:

Via Bossip: Officers from the Bergen County Sheriffs Department raided the former Bad Boy Records artist’s home Fort Lee, NJ Wednesday morning after he amassed a massive debt of more than $171,000 in back child support, according to public records. He was arrested without incident, and his bail figure is the dollar amount of the child support owed, a spokesman for the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office told Bossip.

TMZ reports that he bailed out of jail on Friday morning, after making a promise to the judge. But he walked out with an ankle monitor just in case he doesn’t keep his promise:

In docs, Mario says he makes about $3,000 per month off his songwriting. He told the court he could secure a loan to immediately pay off $10,000 off the debt. That satisfied the judge enough that Winans was released, but with a GPS ankle monitor.

It was also reported that in 2015 he was arrested after he stopped paying the court mandated $3500 child support payments. But there’s more…

His Tax Arrest

Mario Winans was already out on bail from a pending federal case, where he’s facing jail. According to NBC-NY, Mario’s prior arrest was on September 29, 2016 for tax fraud. He “intentionally” didn’t file federal tax returns from 2008-2012, when he made over $2.8 million. He owes the IRS $400K and is facing 2 years in prison.

We know sometimes, times are hard, and maybe that’s what Mario is going through, who knows. But whatever the reason, he better try to figure out a plan to get outta this mess, because it looks like his baby momma, nor the IRS are gonna let him stick ’em for their paper.
