José Luis González Reimundi, a Puerto Rican content creator known as "Mofongo King" and owner of The Mofongo King Restaurant in Port St. Lucie, Florida, southeast of Orlando, said on his social media that he was arrested in Florida on charges related to alleged tax fraud and unfiled taxes. In a podcast he hosts, González Reimundi said the charge is based on "taxes," on business matters, and that "this is a situation that has a fix."
He said he could not discuss further details. According to his account, the arrest happened on Sunday, November 8, as he was about to board a family cruise with about 30 other people. He said he was taken to a room, read the charges, told there was an arrest warrant and detained, and that the process took almost 10 hours.
The independent outlet Brevard Beacon reported the detention, and information on the case was also published on the Brevard County Police official page. González Reimundi said he was released after at least one day in jail after paying $25,000 bail.
