R. Kelly freed from jail for second time in two weeks; unclear who paid $161K child support bill.
Three days after being jailed for failing to meet a court-ordered deadline to pay $161,663 in overdue child support to his ex-wife -- and less than two weeks after being released from custody following an assault arrest -- singer R. Kelly is once again free.
It's not known at this time how Kelly paid for his release. The Associated Press only notes that a vague"someone" paid the full $161,000, but no word yet whether the check provided to authorities this morning used Kelly's funds or if the money came from third parties.
