NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Jordy Robertson, father of Saints superfan Jarrius “J.J” Roberston and the sole operator of It Takes Lives To Save Lives Foundation, has been arrested. He was taken into custody on a drug matter Thursday in St. Charles Parish, where he was being held for U.S. Marshals. DEA officials said he was arrested for conspiracy to distribute cocaine, wire fraud and witness threatening. He had his first court appearance Friday morning at federal court in New Orleans. He was ordered to be held without bond. His next hearing is Monday at 2 p.m. In October 2018, the DEA and other federal agents raided his home and office. The DEA did not say why it was investigating Jordy Robertson. He told FOX 8 after the raid that he thought the IRS and other federal agents were looking at his taxes, his organization, and a GoFundMe account he set up for his son. J.J. Robertson’s mother said her son is not closely associated with the organization.

I always thought that family was milking every second of their son's fame.

What the frick is a super fan? Someone who dresses up as a green and white joker going around goosing players? This is such a silly pedestal we have created.
Now I like that we do have fans that dress up and have fun. It's a good thing. I simply don't get the deification of them and calling them "super fans."
ETA: I looked up who JJ Robertson is, and I see this is a kid. My above statement does not apply to him. I assumed this was one of the game day dress up dudes, and to them my sentiment does apply.
What a sad moment for a young boy to have to see his father go to prison for this nonsense.

Was he using the foundation as a way to launder drug money?

It's possible, and I hate it for JJ as it will be detrimental to the advocacy he has been doing.

you are obviously not a fan if you dont know who he is. So my original statement will not be retracted.

I feel so bad for JJ. Definitely one selfish father.

More than $40K in donations for medical expenses for Saints superfan Jarrius Robertson were diverted by his father Jordy to spend at various casinos, grocery stores and gas stations, but not for his seriously ill son.
I mean, how much of an epic piece of shite is this guy?

I remember the mom being on the news saying jj doesn't have anything to do with the dad's non profit.
It was a shitty hole in the wall in some strip mall.
The dad is a piece of shite who is trying to get rich off his son

You think she never asked where all of the money was going
