(AP) - A Georgia woman is personally liable for
seeking child support payments from former Alabama and pro
basketball player Jason Caffey after he had filed for bankruptcy
protection.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Margaret A. Mahoney ordered Karen Russell
to pay Caffey $57,470.50 after determining that an arrest warrant
issued against the former Davidson High School standout violated
rules prohibiting creditors from seeking debt collection during
bankruptcy proceedings.
Russell's attorney, Penny Douglas Furr, says she plans an
appeal.
Caffey once starred at the University of Alabama before playing
seven years in the NBA. Lately, he's known more for fathering 10
children by eight different women. Many of those women - including
Russell - have sued for child support, which prompted him to file
for Chapter 11 protection in August 2007.
