NEW YORK –\u00a0<\/strong>Federal authorities arrested a reality television show cast member on Monday at his residence in Atlanta for failing to pay more than $1 million in child support for this two children, officials said.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old Steven Jordan, \u00a0also known as \u00a0\u201cStevie Jordan,\u201d a\/k\/a \u201cStevie J\u201d on VH-1 reality show “Love&Hip Hop Atlanta<\/a>,” \u00a0is charged with one count of failing to pay child support and if found guilty, he is facing up to two years in prison, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen individuals conduct themselves the way Steven Jordan is alleged to have done, it is an insult to those parents who struggle each day to fulfill their financial responsibilities to their children,” said \u00a0Thomas O\u2019Donnell, the Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General.<\/p>\n

Adding, “The investigation of such offenses will continue by this office not only to hold accountable those parents who refuse to pay child support obligations, but to deter parents who may consider dodging their obligations in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the allegations contained in the Complaint unsealed today in Manhattan federal court:<\/p>\n

Beginning in or about 1999, \u00a0Jordan was ordered by \u00a0a New York County Family Court to pay a minimum of $6,608 per month in child support for his two children. Jordan’s child support obligation was increased in 2011 to a total of $8,557 per month. He has failed to pay over $1,107,412 in child support.<\/p>\n

Jordan was getting paid $27,000 a month since October 2012 \u00a0as a cast member on the reality television show, officials claim.<\/p>\n

From January 2013 through August 2013, Jordan was paid at least $193,000 for his work on the reality television show.<\/p>\n

Yet, Jordan didn’t make one child support payment and had $18,566 garnished and applied towards child support.<\/p>\n

From 2003 through 2013, Jordan also received approximately $105,000 in royalties from a company that pays royalties to musicians, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
