One day after signing a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts, Antonio Cromartie made good on an outstanding child support debt and was able to avoid a potential arrest.
According to TMZ Sports, Cromartie was behind on child support payments for his first child. The cornerback was ordered to pay $4,000 per month beginning in Jan. 2016 for his oldest child and hadn’t paid. He even missed a court date in Florida last week according to TMZ, leading a judge to issue a warrant for his arrest on Tuesday.
But Cromartie came through with a payment to the mother of the child on Tuesday to settle the dispute and have the warrant withdrawn.
Cromartie’s one-year deal was for $3 million, with $250,000 guaranteed. He needs to make the team’s roster to receive the rest of the money, but all the injuries the Colts are dealing with should help his efforts.
Cromartie has at least 12 children, but you shouldn’t mock him about that because we saw what his reaction was like last time.
