A Kentucky dad who has racked up more than $100,000 in unpaid child support was arrested as he got off a cruise trip in Florida after several years on the lam, according to officials.
Dominic Weaver’s vacation ended with him in handcuffs after he was taken into custody by local cops exiting the cruise ship in Miami sometime last week and brought back to Bluegrass State, Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell told a local Louisville news station.
The 47-year-old owes somewhere between $114,000 and $120,000 in child support, according to O’Connell.
Weaver was previously sentenced to five years of probation for flagrant non-support in 2019, according to Law and Crime.
“I don’t know when he left, but he fled the jurisdiction, and from the date of his sentence until today, and even today, he’s not paid one cent of child support,” the Kentucky county official told WDRB.
O’Connell said Weaver has four cases with the child support division.
“This is one of the most egregious events that brings something to light that I think I’ve ever seen,” O’Connell told the news station.
The official plans to ask the court to revoke his original sentence and instead get him behind bars for as long as four years.
The father’s lack of support for his kids is so poor he appeared on a 2021 list of parents that owe large sums of money for their children’s care. At the time, he owed nearly $100,000, according to county records.
Weaver’s arraignment is set for Jan. 6.
