Terrell Owens has a new lawyer who will clear up a California arrest warrant issued after he allegedly missed a court appearance, his publicist said.
The former NFL wide receiver thought he had rescheduled the Oct. 24 child support hearing so he could attend an NFL workout; however the judge apparently thought differently and issued a warrant for his arrest.
Spokeswoman Diana Bianchini said, Owens is “deeply upset that anyone would misconstrue his non-appearance in court.”
Bianchini said Owens, who is attempting to sign a deal with a new team, has no current income. He previously asked the court to restructure his child support obligations, which had been based on the $11 million he earned in 2007 with the Dallas Cowboys.
“In addition to this, his attorneys have just filed a lawsuit on his behalf for $2 million in a case where advisers who had access to his accounts were seriously mishandling funds,” Bianchini said.
