Kris Benson given custody of kids

On the same day Anna Benson publicly defended herself for allegedly breaking into estranged husband Kris Benson's house brandishing a gun, the former MLB pitcher was issued an emergency restraining order against the former model. On Wednesday, a Forsyth County judge also granted Kris Benson full custody and revoked Anna Benson's visitation rights of their three children. The former major league pitcher called 911 from the basement of his home when his estranged wife Anna Benson broke into the house brandishing a gun and wearing a bullet-proof vest on Monday. The Smyrna, Ga., police released a recording of the call on Wednesday. Anna Benson was arrested and is being held without bond on four counts, including aggravated assault with a gun, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years if found guilty. "I'm a good girl, a nice girl,'' Anna told the New York Post, which sent a reporter to interview her in jail. "I would never hurt [Kris]. I am still in love with him." Judge Jeffrey S. Bagley's order also requires Anna to undergo psychological evaluation, and the judge decreed that both Kris and Anna will be subject to random-drug testing. Kris Benson's request to seal the records was denied by Bagley, as was a request to hold Anna Benson in contempt of court. The next hearing is scheduled for Aug. 22. Kris Benson filed for divorce in 2012 and previously was awarded primary custody of their three children. The Smyrna arrest report in the matter references a June order for Anna to vacate what was once the family home. In the 911 call, a hushed Kris Benson said she was carrying a gun with shotgun shells. Asked by the dispatcher what Anna said when she pulled the gun out, Kris said he wasn't sure. "I've got it on tape recorder," Benson said. "Everything was happening pretty quick but I had set my voice recorder out." Benson, 38, was able to evade his wife by saying he would go find a lighter so she could have a cigarette. He called the police from the basement and during the call left from a back door and waited for police to arrive. Anna Benson was found to have in her possession the gun and vest, hatchet, red knife, ammo belt, expandable baton and taser. A bag of syringes was also found during a house search. Anna Benson, 37, explained to police that she was wearing the vest in order to test it for a company. "My plan is to drive around the Southeast to the different gun shows and see what is out there and what is cool," Anna told the Post. "The problem is that I don't have any money to start my business, and a lot of the stuff I can't tell the investors about because it is top-secret military and Department of Defense stuff." She also alleged that Kris had been unfaithful. She continued: "We have been married for 15 years, and he can't keep it in his pants. He can't stop fucking my friends, in my house. But that doesn't mean that I don't love him." The couple was once in the public eye. In 2005, Kris Benson pitched for the New York Mets while Anna was declared to be one of the hottest wives in baseball. She posed topless for Penthouse and showed up to a Mets family holiday party in a low-cut Mrs. Claus outfit, reportedly rankling some in the organization. Kris was soon traded to the Baltimore Orioles and last pitched in the majors for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2010.

As opposed to a pitcher like Kris, she only measured .22 on the gun. Strange. It looked like she's packin' a 38 in that swimsuit pic.

Boy, first Edward Snowden and now this. Who knew Anna had top-secret clearance?

Oh, unless she's just farking nuts.

Makes you wonder whether the synthetics used in the making of the vest are the same ones that were used in the making of her tits.
If so that would cut down significantly in your materials and manufacturing costs.

Anna Benson, the hot 'Baseball Wives' star, once implicated in a murder
Former Mets pitcher Kris Benson's ex-wife, then Anna Warren, was the subject of a manhunt in 1996 after an 18-year-old man was killed in the Tennessee apartment she shared with her boyfriend.

Former Mets pitcher Kris Benson�s sexy wife has a dirty secret � she was once implicated in a grisly murder. Anna Benson was the subject of a nationwide manhunt in 1996 after an 18-year-old man was executed in the Tennessee apartment she shared with her boyfriend, the Daily News has learned. �Get rid of him,� she allegedly told her beau before he carried out the slaying, the lead investigator told The News, quoting witnesses. Benson, then a 19-year-old named Anna Warren, hightailed it out of town with her man after the bloody slaying in Knoxville. Tennessee cops obtained warrants charging Warren and her boyfriend, Paul Dejongh, 19, with the murder of Michael Evans, court records show. She was captured five months later, but all charges against her were eventually dropped � infuriating the victim�s family. �She got away with murder,� Evans� father, Michael Evans Sr., fumed to The News. �I don�t know how she can live with herself knowing that she conspired to kill my son.� Anna Benson�s dark side returned last week when she allegedly burst inside her estranged hubby�s suburban Atlanta home � armed to the teeth and threatening him with a gun. Evans Sr., a nuclear engineer based in Knoxville, said it was only after he was contacted by a News reporter that he learned Warren went on to wed a star pitcher. �I�m really surprised that she was able to marry a professional baseball player,� Evans Sr. added. �From my vantage point, she�s a pure unadulterated bum.� Warren�s life back then was indeed nothing like the world of luxury she would inhabit years later after marrying Benson. In the mid-1990s, Warren was living inside a filthy Knoxville apartment, its walls covered with disturbing anti-cop graffiti and satanic messages. �The only good pig is a dead pig,� read one message reported in the Knoxville News-Sentinel. Someone scrawled �666� on one wall. Written on another, in felt-tip pen, was �187� � the California penal code for murder of a police officer. By 8 a.m. on Jan. 22, 1996, those walls were spattered with blood. Detectives called to the apartment found a gruesome scene: Evans� lifeless body splayed facedown near the front door � two bullet holes in his head. Evans was an unlikely murder victim. He was a community college student from a well-to-do family who was preparing to enlist in the Navy. Warren was arrested five months after she was charged, but all charges were eventually dropped. �The only thing he�s guilty of is having an association with people who have absolutely no value in life,� Knox County Sheriff Department Sector Capt. Ben Harkins told a local paper at the time. Warren was at the center of the dispute that ended Evans� life, the lead investigator on the case told The News. �When the argument happened in the apartment, it was because the victim said something Anna didn�t like,� Assistant Chief Clyde Cowan said. Witnesses told investigators that Warren urged Dejongh to �get rid of� Evans. �That could have meant, �Throw him out of the house,� but (Dejongh) took it to mean murder. �She was very controlling of (her boyfriend),� Cowan said. �He pretty much did whatever she wanted him to do.� A forensic expert would later determine that Evans had been shot once in the back of the head at close range, and then a second time as he stumbled toward a door. There was drug paraphernalia inside the apartment, and strangely, multi-colored plastic balls like the ones found in a children�s play pit surrounded Evans. �It�s a very disturbing crime scene,� a police spokesman said after the murder. Investigators said they were convinced there had been a violent struggle inside the apartment. �There was blood everywhere � almost in every room,� Sheriff Tim Hutchison told reporters at the time. Deputies were alerted to the crime at 7:30 a.m., when one of the occupants of the apartment called 911. The woman went on to say she had been sleeping at the time of the shooting, but she knew that a man named Mike had been gunned down. There was no need for an ambulance, she grimly told the dispatcher. Police determined there were five people in the apartment at the time of the murder � but two of them, Warren and Dejongh, were nowhere to be found. The pair were last seen driving a stolen 1992 red Lexus on Interstate 75 toward Georgia. A manhunt was launched. The couple�s pictures were splashed across local papers; even �America�s Most Wanted� featured the case. An alert was sent out to the press describing Warren as a white female, 5-feet-5 inches tall and weighing 120 pounds, with short dark hair. Warren was captured in Portland, Ore., June 18. Her brunette hair was dyed purple and she sported a tongue ring, reports show. Detectives swarmed her after she used a pay phone to call her grandmother, who was caring for her young child. Michael Evans Sr. and his wife, Romaine, pose with a photo of their son Michael Evans Jr., who was found dead in January 1996 with two bullet holes in his head. Warren had been calling periodically to check on her kid, authorities said, and she told investigators she was four months pregnant. �She indicated (to her grandmother) she was getting tired of running,� Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison said. But Warren clammed up as soon as Knox County authorities picked her up. �She refused to give a statement, and as far as I know, she never gave a statement,� Cowan told The News. Dejongh was captured that August in the Atlanta area. A jury convicted him of first-degree murder in January 1998, but the verdict was overturned on appeal. Dejongh later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 21 years behind bars. He died in prison. Prosecutors later dropped the murder charges against Warren and instead brought forward an accessory charge, but the state ended up dismissing that charge in May 1998. �We have determined we don�t have sufficient proof to show she is guilty of that charge,� Knox County Deputy District Attorney Bill Crabtree said, according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel. That decision didn�t sit well with Cowan, the investigator. Evans was a community college student from a well-to-do family who was preparing to enlist in the Navy. �That was against my will,� he said. �I would think the fact that she was pregnant had something to do with it.� Warren�s lawyer at the time, Tom Dillard, insists that there�s a simple reason why the charges were dropped. �She didn�t do anything,� Dillard told The News. �There was no miscarriage of justice. The state couldn�t prove the case. There was no evidence that she was involved in assisting and abetting the shooter. �She was frightened, as you could imagine, and left the scene with this fellow,� Dillard added. �That was the only problem she had.� After the charges were dismissed, Warren seemed to fall off the grid. �I didn�t know what happened to her,� Cowan said. �The last thing I remember hearing is that she was going to live with her grandmother in Atlanta.� Some 15 years later, Evans Sr. remains convinced Warren played an instrumental role in the slaying. He said he�s always believed Warren got off �because she had rich parents who got her a good lawyer.� To this day, he thinks she was involved. �She was definitely a part of the murder of my son,� Evans Sr. said. �She�s a killer.� Warren certainly had killer looks, and she used them to turn her life around in a flash. The same year her charges were dropped, Warren met Benson at an Atlanta strip club where she worked. It�s unclear if Benson had any idea about his new girlfriend�s dark past, but the pair married the following year, and Anna Warren became Anna Benson � who was soon known as the most polarizing wife in Major League Baseball. Benson�s beauty bragged about having sex with the budding Pittsburgh Pirates star in a stadium parking lot. She did a jaw-dropping Penthouse spread and, after he was traded to the Mets, she showed up at the team�s 2005 Christmas party in a shockingly revealing Mrs. Claus suit. The pair had three children � daughter Haylee, and sons P.J. and Devin James. They also raised Anna�s daughter from her first marriage, Alyssa Warren. It�s unclear if Benson�s wife ever delivered the child she was carrying while on the lam. Kris Benson, 38, filed for divorce in 2012, setting up the bizarre incident last week. Authorities say the 37-year-old burst inside her estranged hubby�s Georgia home on Monday and tried to rob him at gunpoint of $30,000. The former �Baseball Wives� star was clad in black, wielding a baton, carrying ammo and a knife, and wearing a bulletproof vest. Benson made it out of his house unscathed and called 911. Anna Benson was charged with aggravated assault with a gun � and tossed behind bars. Evans Sr. believes that�s where she should remain. �This girl doesn�t care about human life,� he said. �She�s a very dangerous person.� �I wish her husband the best,� Evans Sr. added. �He made a big mistake.�

Me too, what with Anna being a public figure, and the victim's father, understandably, having a hard-on (the other kind) for Anna all these years. Knowing how the 'Pons operate, I'd bet that the Mets never woulda signed Kris in the first place had they known about this incident.

[Edgy MD]

And she got a gun permit.
