According to Passaic County Sherrif Richard Berdnik, there is a warrant out for Quezada who owes $29K in child support and could be arrested.

Quezada informed the press on Tuesday that he is a native of the Dominican Republic and a father of five and said that he would be giving the money to his family.
“My family is a very humble family and we’re going to help each other out,” said the millionaire after receiving the outstanding check.
Let’s hope he can finally take care of his kids.
