Alpha Lorenzo Walker was arrested May 2 after being trapped in a sting operation involving music icon Stevie Wonder.

According to TMZ.com, Walker has been charged with attempting to extort him by threatening to go to the tabloids and say he’s the product of an incestuous relationship between Stevie Wonder and Wonder’s sister unless the singer gave up a substantial sum of money.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ.com that Walker initially demanded $5 million from Stevie Wonder but was shut down and eventually lowered his demand to $10,000.

TMZ sources say undercover cops met Walker, claiming to be Wonder’s reps who had the cash, but demanded that he first sign a document which included a statement that his accusations were false. Walker signed, and he was promptly arrested.

Walker has been charged with felony extortion, along with his girlfriend, Tamara Eileen Diaz.

According to The Associated Press Walker remains jailed in Los Angeles without bail because of another court case. Diaz is being held on $95,000 bail.
