He’s a Grammy-nominated gospel artist, but on Friday, James Fortune was arrested and booked on charges of aggravated assault of a family member, according to MyFoxHouston.com. The name of the family member involved was not revealed, but Fortune was released from the Fort Bend County, Texas, jail on a $20,000 bond.
This isn’t Fortune’s first run-in with the law. According to the Examiner, in 2012 Fortune was sued by his stepson’s biological father regarding an incident that occurred in 2001. In 2001 Fortune burned his then 4-year-old stepson, leaving him with second- and third-degree burns. During the criminal trial, Fortune pleaded guilty to felony injury to a child and received six years’ deferred adjudication. The now 17-year-old’s biological father is seeking $5 million in the civil lawsuit.
