Alert – Skai Jackson’s baby daddy is back in jail just three months after the birth of their son

Skai Jackson’s baby daddy, Deondre Burgin, is back in jail over an outstanding misdemeanor warrant from Ohio, just months after the birth of his son.

Authorities confirmed to TMZ that Burgin, who is known online as Yerkky Yerkky, was arrested at a gas station in Kentucky on April 17 after a ‘police officer recognized him from the National Crime Information Center database.’

He is reportedly still being held on a $25,000 bond. 

Law enforcement in Hamilton County had a ‘warrant out for his arrest for failing to display a license plate on his vehicle in March’ and failing to show up for his court date. 

This comes less than three months after he served a 90-day sentence for violating his parole from an earlier theft and weapon possession case as a juvenile at the Hamilton County Jail. 

Burgin was behind bars when Jackson gave birth to their baby boy, Kasai, in January 2025.

Skai Jackson’s baby daddy Deondre Burgin was taken into custody in Cincinnati, Ohio on Wednesday after a botched foot chase with officers 

In November, one day after Jackson, revealed she was expecting, Burgin was taken into custody in Cincinnati, Ohio after a botched foot chase with officers.

At the time, police said in a report, reviewed by TMZ, that Burgin initially fled the scene when they approached him over a juvenile parole violation warrant. 

Burgin tripped, fell and suffered a cut on his cheek in the encounter, according to the outlet, after which police placed him in handcuffs.

Burgin was released after receiving a citation for misdemeanor obstruction of official business, police sources told the outlet.

News of Jackson’s pregnancy came just several months after she was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery, but not charged. 

In September it was revealed that the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office declined to file charges and dropped the case against her.

She was previously arrested on August 8 at Universal Studios CityWalk in Los Angeles, California after an alleged altercation with her boyfriend.

Police responded to a call from the theme park after security personnel detained Jackson for allegedly pushing her boyfriend.

Deputies reviewed the surveillance footage of the alleged incident.

At the time, her representative told People: ‘Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding.’

‘We appreciate that the DA determined very quickly that there should be no charges of any kind and Skai looks forward to putting this behind her,’ her rep continued. 

At the time of her arrest, law enforcement sources told TMZ she told the arresting officers she was ‘happily engaged and expecting a baby.’ 

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office informed the outlet that the case will not go forward due to Jackson not having any criminal history.

The alleged victim, her boyfriend, does not have any injuries and had also not been cooperating with prosecutors.

Jackson is best known for her roles on Disney Channel sitcom Jessie and spin-off Bunk’d, both of which ended in 2018.

A month after becoming a first-time mom, Jackson gushed to Jackson that she felt ‘so amazing.’

‘I love being a new mom. It’s just so exciting. So exciting,’ she said at the 56th NAACP Image Awards Creative Honors. ‘I’m here tonight, I’m already missing my baby. But it’s been a great month with my new little one.’

She also raved about her ‘amazing support’ system that help her out when Kasai gives her a ‘fun for’ her money.

‘I feel like now I can just do anything,’ she added. ‘I feel like being a mom and juggling everything probably has to be one of the hardest jobs, but it’s such a rewarding job because I’m doing it for him at the end of the day.’

Overall, motherhood has taught her that she can ‘handle whatever at this point.’

Previously, she told People that she was raised by a single mom who ‘always taught’ her to ‘stand up’ for herself and ‘fight for what is right.’

‘I thank her for that because without her, I probably wouldn’t have a lot of the confidence that I do now,’ she told the outlet in 2023.
