If you thought you saw Anna Benson at her craziest when then-husband Kris was with the Mets, you might want to sit down.
Benson has been arrested for “allegedly raiding Kris’ apartment with a gun and a metal baton, all while wearing a bulletproof vest,” according to TMZ.
Anna allegedly showed up at her ex-husband’s residence, whipped out an expandable baton and threatened to hit him. Anna and Kris filed for divorce last year.
“Kris told police Anna then pulled out a handgun and demanded money,” TMZ reports.
Anna faces two felony counts of aggravated assault.
Anna, a former model who starred on the reality show "Baseball Wives", told Howard Stern in 2004 that she would sleep with the entire Mets squad – right down to the ball boys – if her husband ever cheated on her.
Kris pitched parts of two seasons with the Mets, going 14-12 with a 4.23 ERA. He was traded to Baltimore before the 2006 season in the deal that netted New York John Maine. Kris last pitched for the Diamondbacks in 2010.
