In Fulton County Superior Court on Friday, an order was filed for the immediate arrest and incarceration of former NBA Milwaukee Bucks forward Jason Caffey. The Atlantan has yet to fulfill the court-mandated requirements in relation to back child support. According to the order, Caffey still owes more than $70,000 in payments to Lorunda Brown, the mother of Justin Amir Caffey, 4. In January and February, Caffey came up with $8,300. However, the balance was due Friday. The order states that “all law enforcement officers of this state are hereby ordered to arrest Jason Caffey on sight.”

Caffey played on two NBA Championship teams while with the Chicago Bulls in 1996 and 1997.

Brown’s attorney Randall Kessler told Buzz on Friday via e-mail: “Mr. Caffey just isn’t taking this seriously.”

When we contacted a receptionist for Caffey’s Atlanta attorney James Altman and identified ourselves as an AJC reporter Friday, we were briefly placed on hold and then were subsequently put into Altman’s voice mail.
