Former 'Baseball Wives' star back in jail

Channel 2 Action News has learned that Anna Benson, the ex-wife of former professional baseball player Kris Benson, has been arrested again.

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Anna Benson, who is on probation after pleading guilty to attacking her ex-husband, was arrested on charges of trespassing, loitering and theft, Channel 2 Action News has learned.

According to an arrest warrant obtained by Channel 2's Tom Regan, the charges stem from an April 16 incident, in which Benson allegedly trespassed at a home in Mableton and stole mail.

Benson, currently in jail, was scheduled to appear at a probation revocation hearing in Cobb Superior Court in Marietta Wednesday.

She did not show up in court.

A representative for the district attorney said the judge signed a consent decree, allowing Benson to apply to mental health court.
