DECATUR - A judge has ordered the jailing of former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Andre Rison until he has paid $10,000 in child support for his two teen-age sons. <br> <br> Superior Court Judge Cynthia Becker issued a bench warrant for Rison after he failed to appear in her DeKalb County court Jan. 10 to answer contempt charges for once again getting behind in payments. <br> <br> Rison paid $52,000 in back payments last summer after the boys&#39; mother, Raycoa Handley, filed a complaint in court. The latest complaint said he fell behind again. <br> <br> Rison&#39;s lawyer, Max Richardson Jr., said Rison ``just ran into some economic problems.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Last month, Rison opened a nightclub in Atlanta and he plans to play pro football again, Richardson said. <br> <br> ``Andre&#39;s heart&#39;s as big as gold,&#39;&#39; Richardson said. ``It&#39;s unfortunate that he&#39;s gotten behind.&#39;&#39;
