Father is court-ordered to pay child support.
The amount of Father’s child support obligation is unknown.
But Father pays his child support.
Father allegedly raises funds to pay his child support by buying over 5,000 cold pills and then re-selling them. Father makes nearly four hundred “shopping trips” to pharmacies.
The buyers reportedly buy the pills from Father to use them in the process of producing “meth”, an illegal drug. Father allegedly knows this.
Father enters a plea bargain with federal law enforcement authorities under which Father pleads guilty to possession of narcotics.
At sentencing, Father faces between nine and eleven years’ incarceration in a federal facility.
It is unknown whether Father has a conventional job by virtue of which he could have paid his child support.
