WWE wrestling icon Ric Flair could be facing some jail time after a judge issued an arrest order for the former professional wrestling champion for not paying his estranged wife more than $32,000 in spousal support.
The Charlotte Observer is reporting that Flair was ordered to pay $4,000 a month to Jacqueline Beems after she filed for legal separation from Flair last summer. Court documents say Flair didn't pay $32,352.51 following two court orders.
Documents say the arrest order was issued on July 3, but Flair could avoid jail time if he pays what he owes immediately. Flair told the Observer that he would pay his wife on Wednesday and explained the delay as being a result from his son's, Reid Fliehr, death after being hospitalized for a month with a blood clot.
Beems was charged Tuesday with making a harassing phone call. She's accused of making a series of calls to Flair's girlfriend. Flair says Beems left 50 harassing texts and five voice mails to his girlfriend, Wendy Barlow Kidder.
She was released on a $500 unsecured bond, and her attorney calls the charges "unfounded and outlandish."
Beems claims she needs the money to pay her car, health insurance and legal fees.
