Man Who Said “He Died In A Car Accident” Pays $10,000, Goes To Jail

The man who made national news with this hilarious video about his “death” being the reason he didn’t pay child support…

is getting his just due.

John McCroy of Milwaukee, a.k.a. rapper Jakitdown, was forced to pay $10,000 in March for outstanding child support, interest and lawyer fees and will spend 60 days in jail.

WTKR reports:

The deadbeat dad who “died” to get out of paying child support has finally paid up – but he will still spend the next 60 days in the Milwaukee County House of Correction.

John McCroy, who goes by the rap name “Jakitdown,” was sentenced to 60 days in jail and three years of probation after pleading guilty to two charges of felony failure to pay child support.

McCroy, who lives at home with his parents and doesn’t have a job, managed to pay more than $10,000 in outstanding child support, interest and fees in March. According to his lawyer, McCroy’s grandfather gave him the funds.

McCroy had only paid $100 in child support since 2009 when his daughter was born. He was in a car accident in 2010. He subsequently tried to claim he was disabled, which was why he couldn’t pay child support.

Prosecutors say they found videos of him partying a night clubs in Milwaukee just months after his accident occurred. They also saw evidence, in photos and videos, of him working out at a gym and running on a treadmill. This is more evidence, they argue, that he was fully able to work and pay child support.

When asked about all of the money McCroy is seen flashing on his Facebook and Instagram pages, his lawyer argued it was “prop” money, used by local rap artists in their music videos. His lawyer told the court McCroy is not a rapper, is not signed with a label, and makes no money from his so-called musical career.

In the summer of 2014, McCroy told WITI he made his money selling mixtapes.

LOL at “Jakitdown” telling people he makes money off mixtapes. The jokes write themselves.
