The curvy wife of former Mets pitcher Kris Benson was armed to the teeth when she busted into her estranged hubby’s home and tried to rob him at gunpoint of $30,000, a police report revealed Tuesday.
Anna Benson also gave cops a bizarre explanation about why she was wearing a bulletproof vest, telling them she was trying to get it to “mold to her body.”
The busty brunette said it was a new model and she was “testing” it for the company and “didn’t understand why [they] were making such a big deal out of this,” the report said.
The revelations came a day after the 37-year-old former “Baseball Wives” star was nabbed for barging into Benson’s home in Smyrna, Ga.
“It scared me,” the once mighty righty told cops.
Benson said his wife was “screaming and out of control” and feared she might shoot him. He said he told her money was in his wallet, but instead of fetching it he high-tailed it to the woods and called cops.
When Smyrna police arrived, they found Anna on the back porch smoking a cigarette.
“It’s inside,” she told cops as they cuffed her. “The gun.”
The former FHM model also had a knife in her waistband and was wearing an ammo belt “that had several rounds of ammunition,” the report said.
And she had plenty of contempt for her husband, repeatedly calling him a “p---y.”
Anna Benson admitted threatening him with an “expandable metal baton” and claimed “there were illegal drugs in the house,” the report stated.
Police have not confirmed there were drugs in the house, but among the items they removed was a bag of syringes and eight unidentified pills, according to the report.
In addition, police confiscated a Taurus handgun, 13 rounds of ammunition, a hatchet, a Taser, a computer hard drive and a court order of some kind.
Anna Benson was 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.
She is now cooling her high heels in an Atlanta-area jail and awaiting a court date.
Kris Benson, who pitched for the Mets for two seasons in 2004 and 2005, met his wife at an Atlanta strip joint where she worked as a dancer.
Anna Benson later did a topless Penthouse spread and raised eyebrows when she showed up for a Mets team Christmas party in a sexy Mrs. Claus getup.
Benson was traded to Baltimore not long after. And a year later, the Daily News reported their marriage was on the rocks after Anna Benson caught the pitcher fooling around with one of her friends.
Two years earlier, Anna Benson had threatened on Howard Stern's radio show to have sex with every one of his teammates if she ever caught him cheating. Her spokesman insisted she was joking and the couple later reconciled.
Anna Benson went on to star in the short-lived series "Baseball Wives," which aired on VH1 from November 2011 to January 2012 before it was canceled.

I didn't know you had any siblings. Is your bro a reporter?
Never mind. I just read the other post. Besides Maxim, where else did he write? Is he older or younger?
He is much younger than me. He worked for a bunch of magazines including Elle, Details, FHM and Maxim. I went to many parties that this magazines had over the years and that is where I got my ever so high opinion of journalists.
Currently he is the editor and founder of his own magazine "Athletes Quarterly" which is a magazine geared to professional athletes.
He was always was interested in sports and we went to hundreds of games through the years. Now he hangs out with tons of professional athletes. Especially retired ones.
"I Married a Stripper" might make a pretty good reality show.
"... met his wife at an Atlanta strip joint where she worked as a dancer..."
As Sixty would note, Benson is severally augmented.
Therefore it was the baseball chump's fault for falling for that. I can only LOL.
I guess he was so mesmerized by the T&A he overlooked the crazy.
Always a bad move.
I am totally stealing this for a Rule 5!
I am sure she was a dynamo sexually, but almost always crazy is not worth it.
Long term, true.
But short term? Worth it.
As long as she doesn't have a lethal weapon.
Crazy Rule 5
She is like base jumping, thrilling but eventually things are going to go badly.
>> As long as she doesn't have a lethal weapon.
Or a fatal attraction.
Sometimes a high mileage, late model stripper with custom bodywork is not the best choice, especially when a nice, clean, low mileage runabout can provide the same driving experience, but without the high maintenance costs, and frequent breakdowns.
