AceShowbiz - When Skai Jackson gives birth to her child, hopefully her baby daddy doesn't try to escape from his responsibilities like he did during a recent run-in with police. Deondre Burgin, who is revealed to be the father of the actress' child, was recently arrested following a police confrontation.
Deondre, who is a former inmate, was arrested in Cincinnati, Ohio on Wednesday afternoon, November 13. According to the arrest report obtained by TMZ, Cincinnati police officers tried to arrest Deondre on a juvenile parole violation warrant, but he ran off when confronted by cops and then fell, causing a small cut on his left cheek.
The encounter was caught on video, which saw officers wrestling Deondre to the ground. They put cuffs on him and pinned him down while waiting for backup to arrive. Law enforcement sources confirmed that Deondre was cited for misdemeanor obstruction of official business and has since been released.
Prior to this arrest, Deondre has already had jail record. He reportedly became pen pals with Skai during his time in jail and got bailed out by the former Disney Channel star.
Tasha K was the first to reveal Deondre's troubled past. The blogger claimed that he's already got three kids with three different women. She also posted the video of Deondre's encounter with police, during which he was reportedly nearly hit by a car.
Deondre also appeared to shade Skai after she confirmed her pregnancy. "On woop im salty i got this dumb a** Disney Chanel (sic) b***h pregnant I hate this h**," he wrote on Facebook.
Skai and her mother, however, defended him, claiming that his account was hacked. "His page was hacked! He never said this. End of story," the "Bunk'd" alum responded in the comments section. Her mother additionally insisted, "HE NEVER SAID THIS!!!! Stop being messy!!!"
Deondre was also slammed by social media users for taking aim at Cameron Boyce, Skai's co-star on "Jessie", in a video. He was apparently not happy to be compared to the actor.
Skai and her boyfriend previously made headlines after she was arrested for domestic battery stemming from an argument with her boyfriend in August. However, by September, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office dropped charges against the star due to insufficient evidence.
