Ric Flair Arrested For Unpaid Spousal Support
Ric Flair Arrest Order Issued By Judge For Unpaid Spousal Support
Former wrestling star Ric “The Nature Boy” Flair, enjoyed an impressive career in wrestling over a period of four decades, but now faces an arrest if he doesn’t pony up on spousal support.
Flair was ordered to pay his wife, Jacqueline Beems, $4,000 a month which basically covers her healthcare, attorney’s costs, and car payment. He’s not paid it in months and owes her over $32,000.
Flair has been found in contempt of court and will be taken into custody unless he pays up the money he owes. A spokesman for Flair said the ex-wrestler expected to settle up his account with his estranged wife this past Wednesday.
Beems was charged Tuesday with making a harassing phone call. She’s accused of making a series of calls to Flair’s girlfriend.
Beems was released on a $500 unsecured bond, and her attorney calls the charges “unfounded and outlandish.”
Flair claims he fell behind on the payments following the death of his son, a blood clot which had him hospitalized for a month, and several months of unemployment. His son Reid died from a drug overdose of the opiate heroin and a prescription drug he had been abusing. He was only 25 years old at the time of his death. Flair’s estranged wife was previously arrested in 2010 for spouse battery of the iconic wrestler.
Undoubtedly, it has been a difficult year for Mr. Flair, but hopefully he can settle the matter of the spousal support and avoid running afoul of the law.
There aren’t many reasons for Flair to say “Wooo!” right now.
