Producer Scott Storch was arrested in Miami on Friday and charged with, grand theft auto. Scott posted an undisclosed amount for his bond soon after. According to the authorities, Storch had begun leasing a 2004 Bentley GT in February 2006, with a return date of March 2008. The owners of the vehicle, Atlas Leasing Company, are alleging that Scott failed to comply with the terms of their leasing agreement.
Atlas Leasing also claims the producer's negligence has cost the company $65,000 in revenue that could have been accruing from other clients for the Bentley. Scott has had a slew of legal and financial troubles in the past year or so.
In June 2008, he failed to show for a child-support hearing where he was accused of being behind on his payments. Scott was also way behind on paying his property taxes, owing the government $500,000 which resulted in having his $10 million Miami mansion foreclosed on.
At one time, Scott was one of the most in-demand producers in the music business, producing such hits as "Candy Shop" for 50 Cent, "Lean Back" for Fat Joe and "Baby Boy" for Beyoncé.
