Young Joc Opens Up About Child Endangerment Case [Video]

Young Joc was recently arrested on charges of child endangerment, which later was switched to child abandonment. During Monday’s “Streetz Morning Takeover,”  radio show, Joc tries to clear his name.

“I’m innocent, motherf*cker!” he said.

The Love and Hip Hop star claimed he was sponsoring an event for the Mayor of South Fulton and went home to get dressed when Atlanta police pulled behind him.

“He said nothing. He just walked to the car. Now, interesting enough, I’m sitting here like, ‘what you pull me over for?’ He never said nothing. He just grabbed me.” Then Joc explains that he rolled down the passenger window, and the female officer says, “Yup, that’s him.”

The officer then asked him to get out of the car and put handcuffs on him. “‘You might have a warrant,” Joc says the officer said. He never heard his rights and was driven to prison immediately.

He reveals the mother of his child got upset when he stopped paying the amount of child support. He says he was reportedly paying her a “salary” because he didn’t want any “smoke.” He would pay her in advance, a lot at once that was more than he owed her. Now Joc is getting married and says he doesn’t need to give her that much anymore to focus on his new life. He claims the mother got upset about the amount of change though they went to court.

He says there was no “point in time for abandonment” or endangerment with his child. He claims the moment was “embarrassing” and he didn’t want any of this. He says the mother of his child got upset and sent this hit out for him to be arrested.

Joc hopes this will be taken off his record because he always works with the community. “I’m in the clear. We’ve already established the child support thing.” There isn’t a set amount with a lot of his children because the courts aren’t involved, but now he has to get the courts involved.
