Boxing: James Toney Arrested, Failing To Pay Child Support

IBF cruiserweight champion James Toney was arrested Tuesday and charged with failing to pay more than $100,000 in child support for his 10-year-old daughter.

Toney was ordered in December 1999 to pay $583.29 a week. Though he made some payments, he missed many and owes $103,370.39, said Sage Eastman, a spokesman for the attorney general's office.

A warrant for Toney's arrest was issued May 15 following a criminal investigation by the state attorney general's office. Toney was arrested at his California home, Eastman said.

Toney and his promoter, Dan Goosen, could not be reached for comment.

I don't know the details of his family life, but he should take responsibility for his daughter and pay the money.
