Disney star Skai Jackson's baby daddy is 'arrested AGAIN' after her shocking abuse claims

Daily Mail​8 hours ago
Former Disney Channel star Skai Jackson's baby daddy has been arrested again just weeks after she made shocking abuse claims against him.
Deondre Burgin — who shares a newborn child with Jackson — was apprehended at a Kentucky gas station on July 14 after cops discovered he had an active out-of-state warrant, according to TMZ.
Burgin was cleaning his vehicle at the gas station when a police officer drove by and reportedly scanned his license plate, which a spokesperson for the Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney's Office explained is common practice in that county.
Burgin's scanned plate revealed that he had 'an active warrant out of Hamilton County, Ohio ' and he was then arrested.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Jackson's representatives for comment.
The Ohio arrest warrant was related to a March 6 incident where Burgin was pulled over in Cincinnati and given a ticket for improper display of a license plate and failing to reinstate his driver's license, the outlet reports.
He was scheduled to appear in court on May 5 but he never showed, according to the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office.
Two days later, a warrant for Burgin's arrest was issued.
It's unclear if Burgin has remained behind bars since his July 14 arrest or if he was released on bond.
Burgin's latest lockup comes three months after he was arrested in April over the same outstanding warrant.
Similarly to the July 14th arrest, Burgin was also apprehended at a Kentucky gas station after a 'police officer recognized him from the National Crime Information Center database.'
At the time, he was reportedly being held on a $25,000 bond.
This came less than three months after he served a 90-day sentence for violating his parole from an earlier theft and weapon possession case as a juvenile at the Hamilton County Jail.
Burgin was behind bars when Jackson gave birth to their baby boy, Kasai, in January 2025.
In November, one day after Jackson, revealed she was expecting, Burgin was taken into custody in Cincinnati, Ohio after a botched foot chase with officers.
The Ohio arrest warrant was related to a March 6 incident where Burgin was pulled over in Cincinnati and given a ticket for improper display of a license plate and failing to reinstate his driver's license
At the time, police said in a report, reviewed by TMZ, that Burgin initially fled the scene when they approached him over a juvenile parole violation warrant.
Burgin tripped, fell and suffered a cut on his cheek in the encounter, according to the outlet, after which police placed him in handcuffs.
Burgin was released after receiving a citation for misdemeanor obstruction of official business, police sources told the outlet.
Burgin's latest arrest comes two months after Jackson came forward to accuse him of abuse while filing for a restraining order against him in May.
In the filing, Jackson claimed that her boyfriend tried to choke her on Mother's day.
The Bunk'd standout also alleged that Burgin grabbed her by her hair, slammed her head against a car window and punched her in the face.
She had their son Kasai, aged three months, in her arms during the attack, it was also claimed by the star in documents seen by the site.
Jackson filed for a restraining order in L.A. County Superior Court as she feared for her life, it was also alleged.
She has asked a judge to keep Burgin 100 yards away from her, their baby and her dog. Skai also wants him to attend a domestic violence treatment program, the site also stated.
Skai is seeking a legal child support agreement and for him to pay all her legal fees, the site claimed the documents read.
The violence was nothing new, the actress claimed, as she added he has been frightening her for more than a year.
The TV star also alleged that he abused her weekly during a six-month period in 2024. That included choking and scratching her and slamming her head into a wall, she claimed in her paperwork.
And he allegedly damaged her iPhone and a television.
While she was pregnant, Skai claims Burgin demanded she drink bleach to 'kill the unborn child,' the site added.
And he 'held her at knifepoint as he walked her to her car and threatened to stab her in the stomach if she yelled for help,' the site claimed.
He then punched through a bathroom door, slammed her against a wall and 'choked me until I could not breathe' and she she has video to prove it, she alleged in her documents.
He also has guns, she claimed: three firearms, including a rifle.
Last year Jackson was in hot water herself when she was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery, but not charged.
In September it was revealed that the Los Angeles District Attorney's office declined to file charges and dropped the case against her.
She was previously arrested on August 8 at Universal Studios CityWalk in Los Angeles, California after an alleged altercation with her boyfriend.
Police responded to a call from the theme park after security personnel detained Jackson for allegedly pushing her boyfriend.
Deputies reviewed the surveillance footage of the alleged incident.
At the time, her representative told PEOPLE: 'Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding.'
'We appreciate that the DA determined very quickly that there should be no charges of any kind and Skai looks forward to putting this behind her,' her rep continued.
At the time of her arrest, law enforcement sources told TMZ she told the arresting officers she was 'happily engaged and expecting a baby.'
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office informed the outlet that the case would not go forward due to Jackson not having any criminal history.

Dentist used lewd affair email to have chemical used to poison his wife fast-tracked delivered, murder trial hears

The Colorado dentist accused of fatally poisoning his wife tried to have potassium cyanide overnighted to him, telling the company selling it that he'd be using the lethal substance for a fictional presentation, jurors heard on Thursday. James Craig, 47, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the March 2023 death of his wife, Angela, who'd repeatedly visited the hospital with mystery symptoms in the weeks before she died. Prosecutors say Craig used poisons - including cyanide, arsenic and a chemical found in eyedrops - to taint protein shakes he prepared for her, even administering a fatal dose in her hospital room. Cassie Rodriquez, a customer service representative for Midland Scientific, told jurors on Thursday how she first began dealing with Craig's order via email on March 9, 2023. He wrote to her from the same personal address he'd used for extramarital relationships – jimandwaffles@ – and such Gmail accounts usually raise a flag at her employer, Rodriquez testified. Craig filled out and returned a 'usage statement,' she said, 'saying he was using it for some type of seminar he was presenting.' The dentist had originally noted he wanted the order for 'pick up,' but that wasn't allowed for such chemicals, she said. She worked on 'trying to get the product to him as soon as possible … he wanted it overnighted.' Craig was so desperate to get his hands on the chemical that he attempted to call Rodriquez, though they were never connected and continued correspondence via email, she testified. He repeated his urgency and kept checking on delayed delivery, writing on March 11: 'Wow - it's 7.30 at night and I've been waiting at my office all day for the shipment. 'Looks like it didn't come. I wish they would've just told me they wouldn't be able to get it to me overnight,' Craig wrote to Rodriquez. He later followed that with: 'It's not your fault I was just feeling frustrated and needed somebody to vent to.' Craig listed his billing address for the order as the Aurora home he shared with Angela and their children – but listed his dental practice as the shipping address. Craig also marked the order 'personal.' Craig physically turned up at Midland Scientific's Aurora location, the warehouse supervisor testified on Thursday, asking about a storefront customers could use - but it closed during COVID. Witness Ashley Donohue testified that Craig turned up on the afternoon of March 13 in 'blue scrubs' in the parking lot - something he'd never seen happen during his five years of working there. Donohue alerted the company's HR department 11 days later after recognizing Craig on the news, he testified. Earlier on Thursday, jurors heard testimony from the lead detective in Craig's case - whom he allegedly tried to arrange a hit on from behind bars. Aurora Police Det. Bobbi Jo Olson told the court that she and other officers served a search warrant at 8.30am the day after first hearing allegations of Craig's cyanide purchase. Olson will be recalled to testify further later in the trial, the court heard. A forensics digital expert also testified on Thursday about the process used to extract data from the Craigs' devices. Upon cross examination on Thursday and since the beginning of the trial, defense lawyers questioned witnesses' credentials and repeatedly noted that receipts, texts and emails did not prove who, in fact, had used the cards and addresses. Correspondence may have come from Craig's number and jimandwaffles@ they argued, but witnesses couldn't verify he'd personally written it, they argued. Defense lawyers have tried to paint Angela as 'manipulative' and suicidal. They have explained away Craig's behavior from behind bars as 'not great.' After his arrest, Craig allegedly tried to arrange assassinations and get his daughter to plant evidence, in addition to offering free dental work in exchange for fabricating cover stories to clear him, prosecutors have argued. 'He just lost his wife because law enforcement looks at this case with blinders,' defense attorney Ashley Witham said during opening arguments. 'He's been arrested, which means he's also lost his children ... he's anxious and he does some not great things from jail.' Jurors also heard testimony this week from the office manager at Craig's dental practice - who told the court how she'd seen him mysteriously using an exam room computer in the dark late at night. After that, she said, he texted her that he'd be receiving a personal package at work, and she should put it on his desk and not open it. A front desk employee opened the package when it arrived a week later, however - the same day Craig emailed Rodriquez to say the cyanide was out for delivery, he'd noted by tracking it. Romero saw the invoice listing the package's contents as 'potassium cyanide' before she re-boxed it up and put the delivery on his desk as instructed. She googled potassium cyanide, however - and, after learning its symptoms, comparing them with Angela's mystery illness and noting two unusual statements Craig made to her that his wife might not 'make it through the night - alerted her bosses. The wife of Craig's dental partner, Michelle Redfearn - a longtime friend of Angela's with a PhD in nursing - testified on Wednesday how she and her husband confronted Craig about the cyanide. They did so on a phone call on March 15 as the Redfearns sat in their car outside the hospital after learning that Angela had been declared brain dead. First Craig claimed the package had contained a ring for his wife; when the Redfearns countered that they knew he was lying, he said Angela had asked him to buy the cyanide for her. He said she was suicidal and lacked the necessary credentials to purchase the chemical. When Ryan Redfearn pressed him as to why, still, Craig would agree to order the cyanide, he said it was like 'a game of chicken.'

How ESPN bosses really feel about Shane Gillis' controversial ESPYs monologue

Shane Gillis ruffled plenty of feathers with his ESPYs monologue on Wednesday night, but ESPN bosses are reportedly unfazed by the controversial performance. The comedian took aim at a slew of sports stars onstage, including Caitlin Clark, Bill Belichick and Shohei Ohtani, while he even mocked President Donald Trump with a Jeffrey Epstein joke. But according to a source who spoke to TMZ, Gillis' work hosting the show was 'appreciated' by the network, who previously featured the Notre Dame fan on 'College Gameday.' TMZ added that ESPN and Gillis have had 'a great relationship... for some time', and said there were no issues at the network over his performance on Wednesday. Gillis stunned attendees of the award show when he quipped about the January 6 Capitol Hill riots before bringing up Epstein. 'Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the White House lawn ,' Gillis began. 'The last time he staged a fight in D.C., Mike Pence almost died.' 'There was supposed to be an Epstein joke here but I guess it got deleted,' Gillis then continued, referencing Trump's handling of the infamous case. 'Probably deleted itself, right? Probably never existed, actually. Let's move on as a country and ignore that.' Gillis also pushed the limit in mentioning Clark, saying when she 'retires from the WNBA, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most: fist- fighting black women.' And Gillis also took aim at Dodgers star Ohtani, before setting his sights on Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson. 'Shohei is a once in a generation talent. No one's been able to do what he's done at so many positions - pitcher, hitter, and bookie,' he said, referring to his ex- interpreter's $17million betting scandal . 'Bookie' is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bedtime,' he continued, to rapturous laughter 'They do the 'Very horny caterpillar,' 'The little engine that could but needed a pill first,' and of course, 'Good night boobs.' That's my favorite one. 'Not trashing Bill Belichick,' Gillis went on. 'He is 73 years old and dating a hot 24-year-old. People are criticizing him. What happened to this country? We used to be a great country. He won six Super Bowls. He is dating a hot 24-year-old. Maybe if you guys won six Super Bowls you wouldn't be sitting next to a fat ugly dog wife.' That last quip drew a shocked reaction from the crowd before Gillis backtracked. 'They let me do it. This is Disney. They allowed that... Yeah, we should've taken that out,' he said. 'I had doubts going into that. That didn't work all week.' Gillis also compared Olympic gymnast Simone Biles to a 'leprechaun. ' 'Simone is 4'8' and has seven gold medals. She's short and has a lot of gold. When she's not competing, she leads a very quiet life at the base of a rainbow. If you tell Simone a riddle and she can't answer, she has to give you all her gold,' he cracked.
