He was arrested Monday. At an Atlanta court appearance Tuesday, he was ordered held until a bail hearing Wednesday. His lawyer did not immediately answer a request for comment.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara says Jordan, an Atlanta resident, failed to pay support for two children while earning $27,000 monthly.
