Stevie J ordered to go to drug treatment after prosecutors say he failed cocaine, pot tests
NEW YORK, N.Y. – A cast member on VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” has been ordered to spend 30 days at a drug rehabilitation centre after prosecutors said he repeatedly failed cocaine and marijuana tests.
The New York Post (http://pge.sx/1zQzvOF ) says Stevie J got that news Monday at a Manhattan federal court date in his child-support case.
The reality star and Grammy-winning record producer was arrested in June. He has denied allegations of failing to pay over $1 million in support for two children while earning $27,000 a month.
Prosecutors say Stevie J — whose formal name is Steven Jordan — has failed 10 drug tests since his arrest. The tests were required by his $25,000 bond agreement.
His lawyer argued that rehab would keep Stevie J. from working and repaying debts.
