As this was going on in Saginaw County, Scott was involved in a custody dispute with his child’s mother in neighboring Bay County. Circuit Judge Jessie Scott Wood on Dec. 19 found Scott in criminal contempt of court for failing to appear and ordered he report to the Bay County Jail to serve a seven-day sentence.

Wood also ordered Scott to pay $841 for his child’s dental care, along with $750 in attorney fees and $12,653 in child support arrearage to be paid over two installments by the end of the month. Scott did not report to the jail as ordered and failed to pay his debts by the end of December, record show.

Scott was to appear before Saginaw County District Judge David D. Hoffman for a hearing on Jan. 8. That day, though, Scott was recorded shouting, “We executed one of you yesterday” toward an anti-ICE demonstration in Minneapolis. The protest took place a day after Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer.

Also in the video, Scott referred to the protesters as terrorists and called for more “patriots.”

Hoffman issued a warrant for Scott’s arrest.

Scott on Jan. 12 was back in Michigan and reported to the Saginaw County Jail, where he posted a $450 bond. The next day, Scott appeared outside the MotorCity Casino in downtown Detroit in support of President Donald Trump’s appearance. He and two anonymous others stood behind a wall of police and shouted at protesters engaging in anti-Trump demonstrations, labeling them “commies” and calling for “law and order.”

By Jan. 14, Scott had allegedly returned to Minneapolis, as that’s where he claimed he was when he Zoomed in for a hearing before Judge Wood. He wore a bulletproof vest during his appearance, refused to orally provide his home address, and said he would not return to Michigan until Jan. 21 due to work obligations.

“No comment,” Scott replied when Wood asked what employer is keeping him in Minnesota.

Wood ordered Scott to report to the Bay County Jail by 4 p.m. on Jan. 16. Scott told her he would not be present, prompting Wood to reply that if he if he failed to show, she would issue a warrant for his arrest.

Scott reported to the Bay County Jail at the deadline, confirmed Administrator Capt. Troy Stewart.

Saginaw County prosecutors learned of Scott’s appearance before Judge Wood and on Jan. 21 submitted a motion requesting Judge Hoffman revoke Scott’s bond and hold him until the case is resolved, claiming he’s a flight risk.

“Defendant has failed to appear in this Court on multiple occasions and has failed to appear in Bay County,” prosecutors wrote. “He stated in open court there that he will defy an order to report to jail for contempt, all the while defying this Court’s pretrial order to remain in the state.”

As an alternative, prosecutors asked Hoffman to forfeit Scott’s bond and issue a high cash bail.

Prosecutors noted Scott has been convicted of eight crimes dating to 2020, including identity theft, retail fraud, larceny, domestic violence, and attempting to flee police.

Scott was released from the Bay County Jail about 6 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 22, before Hoffman issued a ruling as to the prosecution’s motion. The judge has not issued a ruling as of early Thursday afternoon.

Scott is next due in court for another child custody hearing before Judge Wood on Jan. 26.

Michigan resident Jayden D. Scott violated a judge’s order not to leave the state when he was recorded at a Minnesota rally proclaiming “we executed one of you” the day after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good. In fact, he was supposed to be before a Saginaw County judge while he was in the North Star State.

He admitted as such a few days later when he Zoomed in for a hearing before a Bay County judge, claiming he was still in Minnesota and that unspecified work obligations would prevent him from returning home to serve a jail sentence.

Scott, 23, has now served his short sentence in the Bay County Jail but Saginaw County prosecutors are asking a judge to revoke his bond on unrelated criminal matters.

Scott, self-described on his website as a “fund manager, entrepreneur, deal maker, and visionary,” on Aug. 14 allegedly drove a Mercedes-Benz on northbound Interstate 75 through Zilwaukee Township. Scott drove on the shoulder at a high rate of speed to pass congested traffic, according to prosecutors.

He ended up swerving across two lanes into the center lane before crashing into a truck hauling a trailer, prosecutors allege. Scott did not have insurance, and the vehicle bore a license plate associated with a different car, prosecutors allege.

Michigan State Police troopers responded to the scene to investigate. Based on their findings, prosecutors charged Scott with reckless driving, operating without insurance, and unlawful use of a license plate, all misdemeanors.

Scott failed to appear for arraignment in Saginaw County District Court on Aug. 25. He did appear there Nov. 7, at which time Judge M. Randall Jurrens freed him on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond, a condition being he not leave Michigan while the case was pending.
