Chicago – Cook County Judge Alexander White has issued an arrest warrant for former Chicago Bull Eddy Curry for the second time in little more than a month, in a legal case that raises new questions about the NBA player’s financial woes.
White ordered Curry’s arrest on Monday, after learning Curry failed to sign an agreement to pay the balance of a $660,000 legal settlement reached after he was sued for allegedly having sex with an underage girl.
The case stems from a 2001 relationship the two had when she was 14 and Curry was 18.
The previous arrest warrant was issued in late June and quashed earlier this month after attorneys for Curry and the woman reached a payment schedule for the roughly $100,000 still owed the woman, according to court records.
Now the warrant, which calls on Curry to post a $10,000 bond, is in the hands of the Cook County Sheriff’s office, a sheriff’s spokesman said. Because it is a civil matter, deputies are expected to work with Curry’s attorneys to have Curry turn himself in. If that doesn’t work, Curry will be arrested.
Curry’s Chicago attorney Kelly Saindon declined comment.
But court records show Saindon’s firm attempted to withdraw from the case earlier this month — accusing Curry of failing to pay his bills.
“Defendant has continuously failed to pay invoices. Without his cooperation and payment of invoices, the [f]irm cannot represent [d]efendant in this matter,” according to the firm’s court filing.
The judge denied the motion after the attorney for the woman in the legal settlement argued against it. The woman’s attorney, Larry Rogers Sr., couldn’t be reached for comment.
It’s not the first time Curry has run in to financial problems. In May, a New York judge ordered Curry to pay $75,000 a month on a defaulted personal loan.
And a year ago, Curry filed a lawsuit in Cook County against his former agent and business manager. The suit came just days after a bank filed a motion to foreclose on Curry’s $3.7 million suburban Burr Ridge home.
Curry, once a Thornwood High School star, currently plays for the New York Knicks.
