The estranged wife of former Major League Baseball pitcher Kris Benson faces up to 20 years in prison stemming from her gun-toting attack on him earlier this week.
Anna Benson is charged with aggravated assault and battery with a gun, possession of a firearm in a felony and criminal trespass charges after she allegedly stormed his Georgia home demanding $30,000 from him.
In addition to the handgun, police said Benson was also carrying a hatchet, an expandable baton and a Taser. According to TMZ, she also had a knife stuffed in her waistband and was wearing a bulletproof vest and an ammo belt.
ESPN reports that when cops asked Benson why she was wearing a bulletproof vest she told them “she was testing it for a company and had to wear it for long periods of time to get it to mold to her body.”
In a panicked 911 call obtained by TMZ, Kris Benson can be heard telling authorities the former Baseball Wives star burst into his bedroom with the handgun and immediately began demanding the money. Benson told police he is not sure if his soon-to-be ex-wife had been drinking beforehand.
Besides starring on Baseball Wives, Anna Benson is also known for once boasting “she would sleep with all of her husband’s teammates if he ever cheated on her.”
Kris Benson last pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2010. He formally filed for divorce from the former FHM model late last year.
