Popular TikTok star Jamal Morton recently had a run-in with law enforcement authorities after his partner allegedly filed a false police report. The influencer took to his social media on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, to inform his followers that "the police almost unlived" him, with an in-post caption:
"POV your bm had your house swatted."

Talking to the publication, Jamal Morton explained that in the 2000s, he was indicted and facing a twenty-year sentence. He added:
"When I went to court, my judge Alfred J Dempsey was working on a murder trial, therefore, I had to be reset. My public defender gave me two choices; Either wait until the trial is over or go in front of another judge the same day which would be VERY risky!"
After days of waiting, he eventually got a court date. In the end, he took a "negotiated plea" and was sentenced to five years of probation. Jamal Morton continued:
"I don’t regret anything I did because it taught me a lesson. It humbled me. It made me wiser. That was 10 years ago. Now, I am proud to announce my new shoe line, 'Amore.'"
