'Baseball Wives' star arrested trying to rob ex at gunpoint

The spitfire wife of former Mets hurler Kris Benson was busted Monday after she allegedly burst into his Atlanta apartment wearing a bulletproof vest and tried to rob him at gunpoint.
Anna Benson also reportedly whipped out an "expandable metal baton" and threatened to beat her estranged husband with it Sunday, TMZ.com reported.
Benson told cops he got her to leave by promising to bring her some money, TMZ.com reported.
The minutes Anna Benson was gone, though, he called the cops.
The 37-year-old former "Baseball Wives" star was arrested and charged with two counts of felony aggravated assault with a weapon, one count of criminal trespass, and one count of possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime.
Benson, who filed for divorce last year, told investigators he believed his soon-to-be ex was wearing the vest because she figured he was armed.
A former FHM model who met the ex-Met while she was working as a dancer at an Atlanta strip joint, Anna Benson was a polarizing presence in Major League Baseball even before her hubby pitched for the Mets for two season in 2004 to 2005.
When Benson got traded to the Mets, the busty brunette raised eyebrows by showing up for the Mets' 2005 Christmas party in a sexy Mrs. Claus suit.
Benson got a one-way ticket to Baltimore not long after that stunt. And a year later, The Daily News reported their marriage was on the skids after Anna Benson caught the pitcher fooling around with one of her friends.
Benson was pitching then for the Orioles and Anna Benson had threatened two years earlier on the Howard Stern show to sleep with every one of his teammates if she ever caught him cheating on her.
Her spokesman insisted she was joking and the couple later reconciled.
Anna Benson went on to star in the short-lived "Baseball Wives" series, which aired on VH1 from Nov. 2011 to Jan. 2012 before it was cancelled.
