Faizon Love, best known for playing the store manager in the Will Ferrell movie Elf, was arrested on Tuesday on an outstanding warrant. He was taken into custody in Hillsborough County, Florida, and is facing two counts of contempt of court, which TMZ reports are in connection with a missed child support hearing. The actor and comedian, who also starred in the movies Friday and Couples Retreat, is currently being held at Orient Road Jail in Tampa and is set to appear before a judge on June 19. The actor has a lengthy history of violent outbursts, including a conviction for misdemeanor assault in 2017, for which he was fined $500 and received a 180-day suspended jail sentence. The 58-year-old was also accused of felony assault after a 2024 incident in which he allegedly attacked a hotel staff member with a credit card reader he ripped from its mount after being told his room was unavailable.
