State tells Detroit man: Pay for child that isn't yours or go to jail!

[PoliticAverse]

Carnell Alexander is a wanted man. The reason? He refuses to pay child support for a child that is proven to not be his. As a result, a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
...

Alexander says he learned about the paternity case against him during a traffic stop in Detroit in the early 90s. The officer told him he is a deadbeat dad, there was a warrant out for his arrest.
...

DNA tests prove the child is not his. The real father was in the child’s life, but the state never pursued him for payment as far as Carnell and the child’s mother know.

Carnell refuses to pay. As a result, the warrant was issued for his arrest. He plans to turn himself in on Friday.

1. The mother lied and the process server lied

They both should be in jail.

Michigan governors.

3. the whole thing is outrageous

and I'm glad he's refusing to pay.

I doubt the mother would spend the money on the child anyway.
