Stevie J of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' jailed for suspended license

Posted Monday, January 8, 2018 by RODNEY HO/rho@ajc.com on his AJC Radio & TV Talk blog

Stevie J, the charismatic "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" music producer whose real name is Steven A. Jordan, was arrested last Friday for driving on a suspended license in Chamblee.

According to StraightFromtheA, which procured his mugshot, he was pulled over for a minor moving violation but was arrested when the police officer discovered he was driving on a suspended license. Why he had a suspended license in the first place is unclear.

He only spent a few hours in jail and was released on bail, the website said.

The reality star was arrested in 2014 for owing an alleged $1 million in child support, an issue that wasn't resolved as of last year.
