Warrant charges ex-NFL star Rison with unpaid support

By
FLINT - Former football star Andre Rison is named in a warrant accusing him of failing to pay child support. <br> <br> Court records indicate the 35 year old Flint native owes his ex-wife Tonya about $68,500 in support for their teenage son. <br> <br> Rison is a former Flint Northwestern High School standout, who went on to star at Michigan State and played for seven National Football League teams. He now lives in Georgia. <br> <br> Felony non-support is punishable by up to four years in prison. The charge usually is dropped if the parent arranges to pay the debt. <br> <br> Rison&#39;s attorney told a judge in November that his client has had no income since 2000, when he played for Oakland. The Raiders let him go after that season. <br> <br> The Genesee County Friend of the Court has a lien on Rison&#39;s NFL pension. In May, a judge named a receiver to seize Rison&#39;s property as part of efforts to collect child support from him. <br> <br> Rison ranks 14th on the NFL&#39;s all-time receptions list and is 17th in receiving yards. He was the MVP of the 1994 Pro Bowl.
