90 Day Fiance Cast Members Arrested and Charged
Several cast members from the MTV reality series 90 Day Fiance have faced criminal charges in recent years. In 2024, cast member David Toborowsky was arrested on drug and weapons charges in Florida, with bond set at over $10,000. Other cast members, including Big Ed and Lana, have faced separate legal issues involving fraud and assault charges, according to public records and reports from Forbes.
Arrests for the cast typically involve misdemeanor charges, but felony charges can lead to incarceration. In 2023, cast member Mohamed Jbali faced a felony charge related to domestic violence in Texas. Bail amounts for these cases range from a few thousand dollars to over $50,000, depending on the severity of the charges and the jurisdiction.
Prison Costs and Bail for 90 Day Fiance Cases
How Much Does Jail Time Cost?
The average cost of jail time in the United States is approximately $60 to $100 per day for county jails, according to data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics. For a 90 Day Fiance cast member arrested on a felony charge, the cost of pre-trial detention can exceed $5,000 before any trial begins.
Bail bond fees typically cost 10% to 15% of the total bail amount, paid to a licensed bail bondsman. If a cast member cannot afford bail, they remain in custody until their court date, which can delay their case by weeks or months. In some cases, the show's production company has covered legal expenses, but this is not standard.
