*John Amos’s son Kelly “K.C.” Amos was arrested Sunday and charged with “terroristic threats–threaten imminent death–purp fear,” according to the police report.
As reported by The Jasmine Brand, information on the July 16 arrest is limited at this time. His run-in with the law comes weeks after K.C. was removed as John Amos’ medical power of attorney.
As reported by The Jasmine Brand, a representative for Shannon Amos, daughter of the “Good Times” star, said K.C. was “successfully removed as John’s medical power of attorney and no longer has the authority to make medical decisions for his father who is now recovering under the care of other family members.”
Per the outlet, Shannon also served a cease and desist to her brother, demanding “that he stop making false statements on public platforms which have caused defamation to her reputation and harm to her business.”
In recent weeks, Shannon made headlines for alleging that her 83-year-old father was a victim of elder abuse, which the actor later denied.
Shannon said removing K.C. as Amos’ medical power of attorney was a necessary move, The Jasmine Brand reports.
“My priority has always been the safety, stability, and well-being of my father. Removing Mr. Kelly K.C. Amos as medical power of attorney is an important step in the healing of my father and family,” Shannon stated, according to The Jasmine Brand.
As we reported … Amos was hospitalized last month after allegedly suffering “elder abuse and financial exploitation” at the hands of a caregiver, according to Shannon. She claims the 83-year-old was placed in intensive care but did not disclose what exactly happened to him.
Shannon set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her ailing father.
“To catch and prosecute the alleged perpetrators, we now require legal assistance, hoping they face the full weight of the law,” the campaign reads. “Meanwhile, our priority remains my father’s medical needs and providing him a safe haven. His home had been violated, stripped of anything valuable. The cruelty inflicted upon my dad leaves me questioning what kind of human could commit such acts.”
John told TMZ that “the details laid out by his daughter Shannon Amos are a lie…no one is abusing him and he hasn’t been fighting for his life.”
