Arrest warrant issued for former Bull Jason Caffey

An Atlanta judge has ordered the arrest of former NBA player Jason Caffey, who's accused of failing to pay thousands in child support.

The warrant, issued Tuesday, claims Caffey failed to follow a court order instructing him to pay $200,000 to Lorunda Brown and her attorney, The Seattle Times reports. Caffey had previously filed his own bankruptcy case to counter the court order. His case was rejected by a judge last fall.

In October, a judge in Alabama rejected a bankruptcy case filed by Caffey, clearing the way for him to be sued for child support.

Caffey has had run-ins with the law, including other arrest warrants and time spent in jail, over child support payments in the past.

"We've been trying to get his attention and this should do it," said Brown's attorney, Randy Kessler. Kessler said Brown is the mother of Caffey's 6-year-old son.

Jason Caffey played for nine years in the NBA. His career included stints with the Chicago Bulls, the Golden State Warriors, and the Milwaukee Bucks.

A listing under the name Jason Caffey in the Atlanta area was disconnected Monday night, and an attorney who represented Caffey in the past didn't immediately return an e-mail seeking comment.

Brown is believed to be the mother of Caffey’s 6-year-old son.
