Ex-NFL Star Le'Veon Bell Arrested in Ohio Over $50K Child Support Debt
Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell was taken into custody in Canton, Ohio, after authorities say he fell behind on more than $50,000 in child support. The case is being handled by the Michigan Attorney General’s office, where the child resides. Bell’s attorney confirmed that the former NFL runner struggled to meet payments set during his playing career. He used his entire $50,000 pension earlier this year and plans to explain his current finances to the judge. The arrest follows reports that Bell lives in California and was detained shortly after an autograph signing. His lawyer also noted a separate $25 million default judgment from last year, tied to a sexual abuse case in which Bell failed to appear in court.
