A California judge has issued a bench warrant for Terrell Owens’ arrest. Â Check the details after the jump…
Owens failed to appear at a child support hearing scheduled for Oct. 24.
Representatives for Owens told TMZ.com that the reason Owens missed the hearing was because of a public workout he held as he tries to get back into the NFL following surgery for a torn ACL that he underwent in April.
Diana Bianchini, Owens’ publicist says the matter regarding the warrant “will be resolved immediately,” according to NFL.com.
Bianchini added, “We are confident that Mr. Owens will be signed this season to the NFL and all of his child support payments will be modified according to his true income.”
Owens pays child support for his four children, but according to his rep, the amounts are based on the income he earned from 2007 when he was playing for the Dallas Cowboys and earning an income between “$11 and 12 million a year.”
Owens also has a $2 million lawsuit against former financial advisors.
In addition, Owens was also in the news last week, after reports surfaced that the wide receiver attempted suicide with pain medication in October.
Those reports were refuted by Bianchini, who said in a statement last week, “Terrell Owens absolutely did not attempt suicide nor did he attempt to overdose on pills on October 6, 2011… The facts are that she arrived at his home that evening after he had already taken a sleeping aid to fall asleep. He was unresponsive because of this.”
“Unaware that he had taken a sleeping aid prior to her arrival, his assistant became concerned and decided to call 911. When the ambulance and police arrived, Owens was responsive and was not held in the hospital. Reports released with the 911 call today are misleading and not factual.”
